Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups cranberry sauce (whole berry variety; see notes below)
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 8 ounces whipped topping (such as Cool Whip; thawed)
  • 6 ounce graham cracker crust (9-inch size)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium or large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and powdered sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat together until smooth.
  • Add cranberry sauce to the cream cheese mixture, mixing on low speed until incorporated well.
  • Add in the almond extract and mix to combine.
  • Using a rubber spatula or large spoon, gently fold the whipped topping into the cranberry mixture, continuing until no streaks remain.
  • Transfer the filling to the graham cracker crust. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving, or preferably overnight.
  • Slice and serve cold, garnishing with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • I prefer to use homemade cranberry sauce, as it provides great flavor and color. You can use canned whole berry sauce if you don't have homemade on hand. Don't use the jellied cranberry sauce variety!
  • If desired, you can add the zest of an orange to the filling to make this a cranberry orange cream pie.
  • I use a store-bought graham cracker crust to save time, but you can make your own if you prefer.
  • Leftover pie should be covered and refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze leftover pie and enjoy it frozen (similar to an ice cream pie) or let it thaw before eating.
