Ingredients
  

Main Filling Components
  • 8 oz Cream cheese softened
  • 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk canned
  • 16 oz Whole cranberry sauce canned
  • 4 oz Lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
Pie Crust
  • 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust refrigerated or homemade
Streusel Topping
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Butter cold, cubed
Optional Additions
  • 1/2 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans optional
  • 1/4 cup Oats optional

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie plate
  • large mixing bowl,
  • Pastry blender or forks
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place your 9-inch unbaked pie crust into a glass pie plate, crimping the edges nicely.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy and smooth. Slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk while continuing to beat. Add the lemon juice and cornstarch, mixing until incorporated.
  3. Gently spread the whole cranberry sauce across the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the top.
  4. In a small bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. Using a pastry blender or fingers, work in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse sand with pea-sized bits. Optionally mix in walnuts, pecans, or oats.
  5. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the filling. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until edges are golden and center has a slight jiggle.
  6. Let the pie cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to set properly.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. For gluten-free, use a gluten-free crust and flour. Add spices like cinnamon to the streusel for extra flavor. Store in refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for 2 months. Reheat in microwave if desired, but best served cold. Serve with whipped cream or cheddar cheese.
