Featuring a smooth blend of cream cheese, cranberry sauce, and whipped topping in a graham cracker crust, it’s simple to prepare, requires no oven, and sets up beautifully in the fridge for a fuss-free finish.

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 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 is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps and the flavors are well combined.
  2. Add cranberry sauce: Gently beat in the canned whole-berry cranberry sauce on low speed until fully incorporated, maintaining some texture from the berries.
  3. Fold in whipped topping: Carefully fold the thawed whipped topping into the cranberry mixture using a spatula, mixing just until combined to keep the texture light and fluffy.
  4. Fill the crust: Spread the prepared mixture evenly into the graham cracker crust, smoothing the top.
  5. Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least two hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set properly and flavors to meld.
  6. Serve: Once firm, garnish the pie as desired, slice, and serve chilled for a refreshing dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to achieve a smooth, lump-free mixture.
  • Thaw whipped topping completely before folding it in for best texture.
  • You can garnish the pie with fresh orange zest, whole cranberries, or a sprig of mint for added visual appeal.
  • This pie can be made a day in advance to enhance flavors.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
