Looking for a festive dessert that will impress your guests this holiday season? Look no further than this delicious Gingersnap Crusted Cranberry Tart! This dessert is the perfect combination of sweet and tart, with a crunchy gingersnap crust and a tangy cranberry filling.
To make this mouth-watering dessert, you will need the following ingredients:
For the crust:
- 2 cups gingersnap cookies, crushed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the filling:
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together the crushed gingersnap cookies, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
While the crust is cooling, prepare the filling. In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, water, and orange juice. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the mixture has thickened. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the cranberry mixture and stir until well combined. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
Pour the cranberry filling into the cooled gingersnap crust and smooth out the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.
This Gingersnap Crusted Cranberry Tart is the perfect dessert for any holiday gathering. The crunchy gingersnap crust pairs perfectly with the tangy cranberry filling, creating a flavor explosion in every bite.
