Cranberry Dream Pie


I've lowered the number of carbs I eat each day, but there's still room for the occasional splurge. When I saw this recipe I knew I wanted to give it a shot for Thanksgiving. I mixed the ingredients by hand at each stage. If I make this again, I'll use a hand mixer. I used a bought graham cracker crust.

Cranberry Dream Pie

8 oz cream cheese
1/2 c heavy cream
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
16 oz can whole berry cranberry sauce

Beat the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until fluffy. Beat in heavy cream and sugar. Blend in vanilla. Stir in the cranberry sauce. Pour into graham cracker crust pie shell and freeze.

It was tasty, different from what we usually have, and it kept well.

  9. This looks delicious and sounds relatively easy enough for me to make (I'm not the best cook in the world). I copied the recipe for future reference. (Which reminds me, I should add it as a link to my blog, too.)

    1. I'm not a cook. The recipe had instructions on how to make a crust for it, but I just picked a graham cracker crust off the shelf ;)

    1. Perfect for something easy and different. I make a frozen lemonade pie in the summertime, and this reminded me a bit of that.
