This Cranberry White Chocolate Tart is a festive, elegant dessert with a buttery cookie crust, creamy white chocolate filling, and a bright, tangy cranberry topping. It’s perfect for holidays or any special occasion where you want to impress with minimal effort.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker or shortbread cookie crumbs
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice or water
  • 1 tsp orange zest (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix cookie crumbs and melted butter until combined.
  2. Press the mixture into the base and sides of a tart pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  3. Melt the white chocolate with heavy cream in a double boiler or microwave. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
  4. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the white chocolate mixture and beat until creamy.
  5. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth out. Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours until set.
  6. In a saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, orange juice, zest, and salt. Simmer over medium heat until berries pop and mixture thickens. Let cool to room temperature.
  7. Spoon the cooled cranberry mixture over the set tart. Chill again until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use a chocolate cookie crust for a richer variation.
  • Add orange liqueur to the cranberry topping for extra flavor.
  • Fold in whipped cream to the filling for a lighter texture.
  • Substitute raspberries for cranberries if out of season.
  • The crust and topping can be made ahead and frozen separately.
