  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 8

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces (340g) fresh cranberries
  • ½ cup (120mL) fresh orange juice
  • Zest of one orange
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter (softened to room temperature and cut into 4 slices)
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 and ½ cups (150g) crushed gingersnap cookies (about 25 cookies)
  • ⅓ cup (67g) firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 5 Tablespoons (71g) unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine crushed gingersnap cookies, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ground ginger. Mix in melted butter until well combined. Press into the bottom and sides of a tart pan and bake for 10 minutes until golden. Let cool.
  2. For the cranberry curd, combine fresh cranberries, orange juice, zest, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until cranberries burst (about 5-7 minutes). Blend until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, yolks, softened butter, and salt. Gradually add the cranberry mixture while whisking.
  4. Pour the curd mixture into the cooled crust and bake for 20-25 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool completely before serving.
