  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  3. Melt white chocolate: Melt gently and cool slightly.
  4. Make filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Stir in white chocolate, then fold in whipped cream.
  5. Assemble: Pour filling over crust. Drop spoonfuls of cranberry sauce and swirl gently.
  6. Chill 6–8 hours or overnight until set.
  7. Make frosted cranberries: Simmer sugar and water. Add cranberries, dry slightly, and roll in sugar.

Notes

  • Substitute gingersnap crumbs for a spiced crust.
  • Enhance cranberry sauce with orange juice or zest.
  • Use vegan cream cheese and coconut cream for dairy-free version.
  • Top with white chocolate curls or pomegranate seeds for extra flair.
  • Store-bought cranberry sauce works in a pinch—strain for smoothness.
