Dessert on Thanksgivng!!<\/p>\n

The traditional thing is Pumpkin Pie, and I’m all for that (there’ll be an upcoming recipe for it, too), but one thing that I think always hits the spot after Thanksgiving dinner is a nice cool dessert.\u00a0 The house has been heated up all day, your tummy is full of hot turkey, potatoes, yams, stuffing, and corn — and to round out dinner, a chilled dessert always seems to fit the best.\u00a0 Last year I made Roosamanna Semolina Pudding<\/a>, and this year it will be Cranberry Cream Pie.<\/p>\n

You can use canned whole cranberries if that is your preference, though I usually use a homemade cranberry sauce (as is linked below).\u00a0 Use what you like, and what you have though.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Frozen Cranberry Cream Pie<\/h2>\n

Graham Cracker Crust<\/a> (see below) (No need to bake, just refrigerate before filling)
\n1 cup whipping cream
\n1\/4 cup sugar
\n1\/2 teaspoon vanilla
\n1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
\n1 1\/2 cup Orange Cranberry Sauce<\/a> (Or one can of whole berry cranberry sauce)<\/p>\n

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.<\/p>\n

In a second bowl, combine the whipping cream, sugar and vanilla.\u00a0 Whip until thick, but not stiff peaks.\u00a0 Gradually add in the cream cheese, beat until smooth and creamy.\u00a0 Fold in the cranberry sauce. Reserve about 1\/4 cup of the cranberry sauce for garnish.\u00a0 Spoon the mixture into the graham cracker crust and freeze at least 4 hours.\u00a0 Overnight is best.<\/p>\n

To serve, remove from the freezer about 10 minutes before hand.\u00a0 Top with the remaining cranberry sauce and any left over whipped cream.<\/p>\n

Graham Cracker Crust<\/h2>\n

1 2\/3 cups graham cracker crumbs
\n1\/4 cup sugar
\n1\/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons butter, melted<\/p>\n

Mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter until well-combined. Press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate or tin. For baked pies, preheat oven to 350 F and pre-bake crust for 7 to 9 minutes. Cool before filling. For no-bake refrigerator or freezer pies, no baking is necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
