Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons orange zest
  • 1 (14 ounce) can whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 (8 ounce) tub of whipped topping (thawed)

Crust

  • 1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and orange zest with an electric mixer until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Add Cranberry Sauce: Add the whole-berry cranberry sauce to the cream cheese mixture and beat on low speed until the mixture is well combined, blending the tartness evenly throughout.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping into the cranberry and cream cheese mixture to maintain its light and airy texture, mixing carefully until fully incorporated.
  4. Fill the Crust: Spread the combined mixture evenly into the 9-inch graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to prepare for setting.
  5. Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least two hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely and develop firm texture.
  6. Serve: After the pie has set, garnish as desired, slice into portions, and serve chilled for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • You can garnish the pie with additional whipped topping, fresh cranberries, or orange zest for an attractive presentation.
  • If you prefer a more tart flavor, use fresh cranberry sauce or reduce the powdered sugar slightly.
  • This pie must be kept refrigerated and served cold.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
