Equipment

  • 1 9-inch fluted tart pan removable bottom
  • Measuring Cups

Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 14 graham crackers)
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Cranberry Layer

  • 2 ½ cups fresh cranberries (can use frozen)
  • 1 cup water
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin powder (unflavored)

Filling

  • 2 ½ cups white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate)
  • cup heavy cream
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

Crust

  • Pulse about 14 graham crackers in a food processor or smash in a sealed plastic bag until crumbs.
  • Stir together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Add the butter and mix until all the crumbs are moist.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of an un-greased 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable base. A spoon and measuring cup work well. Bake at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes.

Cranberry Layer

  • Add cranberries, water, maple syrup, and sugar to a small saucepan. Simmer for 15 minutes on medium-low heat until cranberries have broken down.
  • Carefully pour the cranberry mixture into a food processor or a blender and puree. This can also be done with an immersion blender or hand mixer. Add a little water if the sauce is too thick to blend.
  • Return to the saucepan. Add gelatin powder and simmer for another 5 minutes on medium-low heat. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes.
  • Then, spread into the bottom of the crust. Let set in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to set and cool down completely.

White Chocolate Filling

  • Place the white chocolate, cream, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second bursts, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth. This should only take a minute or two.
  • Pour the white chocolate mixture over the cranberry layer and smooth. Refrigerate for about 2 hours, until firm.
  • Garnish with Sugared Cranberries or decorate as desired. Slice, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Scrape the sides of the food processor to ensure all the sugar and butter mixes in nicely.
  • No food processor? You can use a high-speed blender or try graham cracker crumbs from the grocery store.
  • Don't skip the time for the cranberry layer to set in the fridge.
  • Really watch as you melt the chocolate. Too much time in the microwave can burn it.
  • Use a warm knife to slice easily, and wipe it off between slices.
