Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cups Ground almonds
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 cups Whipping cream
• 2 cups Fresh or frozen cranberries
• 0.25 cups Orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.25 cups Slivered almonds, toasted
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, ground almonds, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 2

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan, creating an even crust. Place the crust in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully integrated.

Step 5

Pour the cream filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Return the pie to the freezer to chill while preparing the cranberry topping.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries, orange juice, and honey. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly (about 7-10 minutes).

Step 7

Let the cranberry mixture cool completely, then spread it gently over the top of the cream filling.

Step 8

Sprinkle the toasted slivered almonds over the cranberry layer for a crunchy topping.

Step 9

Freeze the pie for at least 4 hours or until firm. Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.

Step 10

Optional: Dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing and serving for a festive finishing touch.
