I’m a huge cheesecake fan,
 
and kicking it up with the sweet and tangy flavor of cranberry makes this just the perfect holiday pie.
 
Imagine this pretty pie sitting on the dessert table.
 
One of the best parts of this pie is that it isn’t overly sweet, the cranberries take care of that, they taste fantastic and are a great contrast to the cheesecake filling.

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.
 
I poured it into a pie crust, you can easily put this into a graham cracker crust or if you’re not a crust person bake it in a pie plate with no crust, so many great options.
 
I just love how pretty pink it turned out.
 
It is so DELICIOUS, 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. 
But this flavor combo has won me over!
 
The cranberries were the perfect item to put into my unusual pie.
 

THIS is my FAVORITE PIE CRUST RECIPE you won’t believe how easy it is.

You can make pie crust or use the type you unroll and place in a pie dish, or you can use the type that is frozen and pre shaped. This would also be great with a graham cracker crust as well. 

You do not pre-bake the pie crust, simple add the filling to the pie crust and bake all together.

Mix half the cranberries to the mix, then add the remaining cranberries to the top of the pie.

When the pie bakes it puffs up a bit, but settles as it cools.

Be sure to cool completely then place in the fridge until it’s cold.

This cranberry cheesecake pie is great for Thanksgiving or Christmas or to cheer up a cold and gloomy cold day,
