Cranberry Cheesecake Pie

It may sound like an unusual combination, but just imagine...

the tartness of the cranberries and the sweetness of cheesecake all in a wonderfully delicious pie.

A Cranberry Cheesecake Pie

I put a Pillsbury pie crust 

(this was my test pie to see if it would make it's way onto the Thanksgiving table.

 Yes it will be on the dessert table, with a homemade crust :) 

into my pie plate after I rolled it a bit, fluted the edge then,

 placed 2 room temperature packages of cream cheese 

along with 1 cup sour cream

 into a blender along with

 1/2 of a 12 oz bag of fresh cranberries, 3/4 cups sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 4 teaspoons flour.

 Blended until the cranberries were smooth, then added three eggs and gave a quick pulse until all was incorporated. 

Once it was poured into the pie shell, I placed the other half bag of cranberries on top.

I baked it at 325 for 45 minutes. 

It then looked like the photo above, the center was a little set, but still wiggled.

I turned off the oven and let it sit in there for another hour.

It was DELICIOUS,

Who knew? I was very surprised as I typically only prefer plain cheesecake. I do sometimes like it topped with blueberries, but most times I like it plain.

The cranberries were the perfect item to put into my unusual pie.

I like it served chilled.


Thanks so much for stopping by and viewing my pie!

This pie was even retweeted by the Pioneer Woman for #pieweek :)

I'm so excited!

I even baked up Mini Cranberry Pecan Pies with Southern Comfort, 

these too will be on the dessert table!

Thanksgiving is next week here is a table topper idea made out of fruit


It's my Fruiturkian great for kids to make while you're busy in the kitchen,



 maybe even making the Baked Brie with Walnut Glaze, or



you could make this Pumpkin Dip

or crab appetizer


While you're up early putting your turkey in the oven maybe a bake a batch of scones

pumpkin scones would start the day off right, don't you think?




I'm joining the fun!
