Filling and Topping: In a medium-size bowl, with an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg and vanilla extract. Pour into slightly cooled crust. Pour cranberry sauce into a small bowl and stir to loosen. Dollop into cream cheese mixture, then spread slightly with the back of a spoon.

Delicious and such a pretty holiday dessert. We absolutely love cranberries -- next time I might use a fresh cranberry sauce over the top. I made as directed with the exception that I did not add the confectioner's sugar on top. Made for Pammyowl's Cook-A-Thon, 2013.

I have a Farmers Market stand where I sell breads and sweets. I am really enjouing my stand, as I get to make all kinds of breads, although the sweets are the big attraction! I am married to theworlds  most wonderful man, have an aan amazingly  brilliant child (of course I would say that!).  In short, I am a verry happy, cheerful woman. Baking bread is my passion, but I love to cook anything.  I have two great dogs, Jack and Lucy, a black lab and a boxer/pitbull mix, respectively. My rating system; 5 stars= great, had fun making it and will make again 4= made some changes as the recipe needed tweaking 3= probably will not make again I will not post a 2 or 1 star rating, I'd rather post the review with no stars and share some possible fixes:)
