Time 7h20m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
1/3 cup finely ground dehydrated unsweetened cranberries
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) very cold butter, cut into cubes
5 tablespoons very cold vodka
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup triple sec (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon unflavored powdered gelatin
2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1 teaspoon orange zest plus 1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup very cold heavy cream
1 large egg white
1/2 cup fresh cranberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Orange peel, cut into thin strips, for garnish
Sweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • For the crust: Add the flour, cranberries, sugar and salt to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter, pulsing until you have pea-sized pieces. Mix together the vodka and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of the vodka mixture to the flour mixture and pulse, adding more of the vodka mixture a tablespoon at a time as needed, until the dough comes together when gently pinched (you may not need to add all of it). Dump the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap, flatten into a disc and wrap tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Put the dough on a lightly floured work surface and roll into a 1/4-inch-thick round. Use the rolling pin to help guide the dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Press gently into the corners of the pie plate and crimp the edges decoratively. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Arrange an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Prick the bottom of the dough all over with the tines of a fork. Place a piece of parchment on top of the dough and fill with pie weights or baking beans. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the parchment and pie weights and bake until golden around the edges and light golden in the center, an additional 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely.
  • For the filling: Add 2 tablespoons triple sec to a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over top; set aside.
  • Add the cranberries, orange zest and juice, ginger, 1/2 cup sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons triple sec to a small saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and continue to cook until the cranberries begin to pop and break down, about 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the gelatin mixture until completely dissolved and combined. Transfer the mixture to a blender and let cool slightly, then puree until very smooth. Pour into a large bowl and set aside to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  • When the mixture has cooled, add the heavy cream to a stand mixture fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat on high, streaming in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar slowly, until the mixture reaches stiff peaks. Stir one-third of the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture to lighten it. Then fold the cranberry mixture into the remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain. Add the filling to the pie crust. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
  • For the decorations: Before serving, beat the egg white together with 1 tablespoon water. Toss the cranberries in the egg white mixture, then drain completely using a wide-mesh strainer. Put the sugar in a medium bowl, add the cranberries and toss to coat completely. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet to dry.
  • Pile whipped cream in the center of the pie, top with the cranberries and sprinkle with the orange peel strips.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and a firmer texture than frozen cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Make sure your cranberries are ripe: Ripe cranberries are a deep red color and have a slightly tart flavor. Avoid cranberries that are pale or have a green tint.
  • Don't overcook your cranberries: Overcooked cranberries will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they pop and are tender.
  • Use a variety of spices: Cranberries pair well with a variety of spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite flavor profile.
  • Let your pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the crust to become flaky.

Conclusion:

Cranberry pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its bright red color and tart flavor, it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give cranberry pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
