Time 4h25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
16 ounces cream cheese (softened or at room temperature)
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ cup fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Mix well. Add ½ cup plus two tablespoons of cold water and the cranberries and place the pan over medium heat. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the cranberry mixture to a boil and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes, remove the pan from the heat, and set aside to cool.
  • Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, salt, and butter in a large bowl. Mix to combine.
  • Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a nine-inch springform pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you make the cheesecake filling.
  • Add the cream cheese to a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer for a few minutes or until it is smooth, light, and fluffy. Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice and beat until the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
  • To assemble, pour the cream cheese mixture into the pie crust. Smooth out with an offset spatula. Top with the cranberry mixture and spread the topping out evenly.
  • Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least four hours to give the filling time to firm up. Before serving, unhinge the clasp on the springform pan and carefully lift off the sides.

CREAMY LAYERED CRANBERRY DESSERT (NO-BAKE)



Creamy Layered Cranberry Dessert (No-Bake) image

This is a great dessert to serve to guests for the holiday season and you can make this well in advance which is a big plus! Plan ahead this needs to chill for a minimum of 4 hours before serving. If desired sprinkle the top with sugared cranberries if desired for a nice presentation! Prep time includes the 1-1/2 hours and the 4 hour chilling times. I used Ocean Spray whole cranberry sauce for this, I'm not certain how it would work using homemade cranberry sauce. If you want a more intense fruit flavor use a large package of raspberry Jell-o and a small package of cranberry Jell-o, increase the cold water by only a couple of tablespoons.

Time 7h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 (3 ounce) package cranberry Jell-O gelatin
1 (3 ounce) package raspberry Jell-O gelatin
1/3 cup sugar (optional)
16 ounces whole berry cranberry sauce
1 cup cold water
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (can use less)
2 (8 ounce) containers cool whip frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup sugar (can use less)
1/2 cup melted butter, plus
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Butter a 13 x 9-inch glass baking pan.
  • For the crust; in a bowl combine the graham cracker crumbs with the sugar and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons melted butter; mix to combine then press lightly into the baking pan; set aside.
  • In a heat-proof bowl combine 1-1/2 cups boiling water with the cranberry and raspberry Jell-o powder and 1/3 cup sugar; mix with a spoon until no granules remain.
  • Stir in the cranberry sauce until totally combined (I used my hands for this, it is much easier than using a spoon!).
  • Stir in 1 cup cold water until completely combined.
  • Chill the mixture for about 1-1/2 to 2 hours (stirring with a spoon a few time during chilling) or until a thick jelly-like consistency, not completely set but still able to spread on top of the cream cheese mixture (chilling time will depend on how cold your fridge is).
  • While the gelatin mixture is chilling; in a bowl beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Add in the two 8-ounce containers of thawed Cool Whip and beat at low speed until combined.
  • Stir in two 8-ounce container/tub thawed Cool Whip until combined; spread over the crust in the baking dish; chill until ready to top with the gelatin mixture.
  • Spoon the semi-firm cranberry gelatin/orange mixture over the cream cheese layer.
  • Chill for minimum of 4 hours (or longer) or until firm.
  • Top with whipped cream or Cool Whip topping.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups cranberries
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup butter, melted
2 eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart and juicy flavor that is perfect for this dessert. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries. The cranberries should be cooked until they are just softened, but not mushy. If you overcook them, they will lose their tartness and become bland.
  • Let the dessert cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
  • Serve the dessert with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a creamy and decadent touch to the dessert.

Conclusion:

This cranberry dessert is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh cranberries, sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice. The cranberries are cooked until they are softened, and then they are combined with the other ingredients and chilled until set. This dessert can be served with whipped cream or ice cream.
