Can you say yum? From the King Arthur Flour website. Buy lots of fresh cranberries while they are in season, and freeze to be able to make this year-round! Passive cooking time here = chilling time.

Time 2h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups cranberry juice
1 cup dried cranberries
12 ounces fresh cranberries or 12 ounces frozen cranberries
1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 5 1/4 ounces )
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar or 1/4 cup glazing sugar
6 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or 1 cup chopped semisweet chocolate
2/3 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup diced walnuts or 3/4 cup pecans, toasted in a 350 F oven for 8 to 10 minutes

Steps:

  • For the Cranberry topping: Bring the sugar, salt, and cranberry juice to a boil. Stir in the dried cranberries, then the fresh or frozen berries. Simmer gently for 10 to 12 minutes, or until about half the berries have popped. Remove from the heat, and cool to room temperature. Yield: 4 cups.
  • You'll need about 15 ounces (a scant 2 cups) sauce for the pie; enjoy the remainder on its own.
  • For the crust: Process the crackers, sugar, and melted butter in a food processor till crumbly and well combined. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9" pie pan. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for about 7 to 8 minutes, until it's set, but not brown. Remove from the oven and cool.
  • For the filling: Put the chips and cream in a microwave-safe container, and heat for about 90 seconds. Remove from the microwave, and stir till the mixture becomes smooth and dark brown. You're simply making a basic ganache.
  • Assembly: Spoon the hot ganache into the cooled crust, and sprinkle the toasted nuts on top. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, probably 2, till the ganache has firmed up. Once the ganache is set, top with the cranberry sauce.

This pie was delicious! The cranberry and dark chocolate flavors were a perfect combination, and the pie crust was flaky and tender. I will definitely be making this pie again.

This pie was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. The cranberry and dark chocolate flavors were delicious together, but the pie crust was a bit too thick. I would make this pie again, but I would use a thinner pie crust next time.
