CRANBERRY OREO TART

CRANBERRY TART … the eye-catching one you need this Thanksgiving.

Last year, I made a gorgeous S’mores Pumpkin Tart that amongst my family disappeared in minutes—I literally had requests to make it again this year from people who didn’t get get a chance to try any … hungry minds need to know! That in mind, I didn’t want to plateau, so I challenged myself to make another wow-factor tart that checked all of the Thanksgiving boxes. I present you with my—despite the namesake and expectation of cranberries—sweet cranberry Oreo tart.

CRANBERRY OREO TART

Yield: 1 Tart

Author: Michelle Williams

Prep time: 20 MinCook time: 25 MinInactive time: 1 HourTotal time: 1 H & 45 M

Ingredients

FOR THE CRUST

• Oreos (13.29 ounce package)
• Unsalted Butter (1/2 stick, cut into cubes)

FOR THE CRANBERRY FILLING

• Fresh Cranberries (12 ounces)
• Navel Orange (the juice from 1)
• White Sugar (1 1/4 cups)
• Unsalted Butter (1 stick, cut into cubes)
• Whole Eggs (2)
• Egg Yolks (2)
• Pure Vanilla Extract (1/2 teaspoon)

KITCHEN ITEMS

• Food Processor
• Medium Mixing Bowl
• Saucepan
• Wooden Spoon
• Large Fine Sieve (it should ideally fit well on your mixing bowl)
• Whisk
• 11 Inch Tart Pan
• Baking Sheet (One that's larger than your tart pan)

Instructions

TO MAKE YOUR CRUST

1. Put your Oreos into your food processor. Process until you have an even fine crumble.
2. Add your butter and process more until your butter is fully incorporated. If you press the mixture with your finger it should mush, not crumble. If it’s still crumbling, add a little more butter.
3. Press your crust mixture down on the base and side walls. You want a thin layer. If you have extra crust mixture when you’re done consider making some mini pies or sprinkling it on top of yogurt.
4. Refrigerate while you make your cranberry filling.

TO MAKE YOUR CRANBERRY FILLING

1. In your saucepan over medium-high heat, combine your cranberries and the juice from your navel orange. Cook while mixing until your cranberries begin to split—roughly 5 minutes.
2. Stack your sieve over your mixing bowl and pour your cooked cranberries into it. Use your whisk or a wooden spoon to press it through the sieve. This is a bit of an arm workout and will take some time, roughly 10 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
4. Clean out your saucepan.
5. Transfer your sieved cranberries back into your saucepan. Over medium heat, mix in your sugar, eggs, egg yolks, butter, and vanilla. Cook while stirring consistently until thickened—about 8 minutes.
6. Again, run your mixture through your sieve. Don't worry, it goes through a lot easier this second time.

TO BAKE YOUR TART

1. Place your Oreo tart crust, still in its tart pan, on your baking sheet.
2. Pour your cranberry filling into your Oreo tart crust.
3. Bake for 10 minutes.
4. Let cool on your counter for 1 hour.
5. Serve.
