CRANBERRY CHEESECAKE PIE

CRANBERRY CHEESECAKE PIE

DIRECTIONS:

CRANBERRY SAUCE

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the cranberries and water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until cranberries have popped and can be easily mashed, about 7 minutes. Stir in Swerve and lemon zest and mash up a little. Set aside to cool.

CRUST

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325F.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, Swerve, coconut flour, and salt. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until dough begins to clump together. Reserve 1/2 cup of the mixture.

Step 3

Press the remaining crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate or a 10-inch tart pan. Bake 10 minutes.

FILLING

Step 1

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and Swerve together until well combined. Beat in the egg, cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 2

Spread cheesecake mixture into crust. Dollop with cranberry sauce and swirl lightly with a knife. Stir pecans, if using, into reserved crust mixture and sprinkle over filling.

Step 3

Cover lightly with foil and bake 25 minutes, then remove foil and bake another 10 minutes, until cheesecake filling is set.

Step 4

Remove and let cool, then refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
