Boozy Cranberry Cheesecake Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 cup all purpose flour
• 200 gm butter
• 50 gm dried cranberries
• 100 gm sugar
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 100 gm mascarpone cheese
• 150 gm icing sugar
• 1 egg
• 100 gm cranberries
• 60 ml bourbon whiskey
• 200 gm cream cheese
• 100 ml heavy cream

Recipe :

• Step 1 Knead the dough and refrigerate for an hour to set the pie base

  To prepare this scrumptious dish, in a food processor/ grinder add plain flour, icing sugar and butter. Grind together to get a coarse mixture. Add the egg and pulse again until the dough comes together. Wrap in cling wrap, then rest in the fridge for about an hour.

• Step 2 Bake and refrigerate the tart

  Once done, take out the prepared pastry base and roll out half until it is thick enough. Line the buttered tart tin with pastry, then rest in the fridge for another 15 minutes to chill. Take out and bake for 15 minutes till the pastry is crisp and slightly browned. Let it completely cool before using.

• Step 3 Prepare the cranberry compote

  While the tart prepares, add frozen cranberries, dried cranberries, sugar, bourbon whiskey and orange zest in a pan and bring it to boil. Simmer the gas and cook till the cranberries are soft. Cook for about 15 minutes then remove from heat and keep aside until further use.

• Step 4 Prepare the cheese-cream mixture

  Next, whip the softened cream cheese, mascarpone cheese and sugar together till soft and smooth. Whip the heavy cream into soft peaks. Now fold this whipped fresh cream in the cheese mixture gently. Use a silicon spatula or a perforated spoon for doing this.
