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 a complete disaster. I followed the recipe exactly, but the crust didn't turn out and the filling was runny.

I made this pie for a potluck and it was a huge disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland.

This pie was a bit too sweet for me, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown, but the pie still tasted great.

This pie was a little too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a big fan of cranberries.

The cranberry and dark chocolate filling is rich and decadent, and the crust is flaky and buttery. I love that this pie is not too sweet.

I'm not usually a fan of cranberry pie, but this one was surprisingly good. The dark chocolate added a nice richness and depth of flavor.

This pie was a hit at my holiday party! The cranberry and dark chocolate filling was rich and decadent, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this again.
