Ingredients

  • 1 9-inch pie crust, pre-baked

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, sour cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until stiff peaks form. This will be the cream filling.
  3. Spread the cream filling evenly over the pre-baked pie crust.
  4. Pour the cooled cranberry sauce over the cream filling, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to allow it to set.
  6. Before serving, you can optionally top the pie with whipped cream for added richness and flavor.
  7. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
