Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of powdered sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the zest of one orange and continue mixing for another minute to incorporate the citrus flavor.
  3. Gently fold in 1 cup of whole-berry cranberry sauce using a spatula, mixing on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add 1 cup of whipped topping to the mixture and fold in gently for about 1-2 minutes, aiming for a light, fluffy texture.
  5. Spoon the filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading evenly to ensure a nice, smooth top.
  6. Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set properly.
  7. Garnish with extra whipped topping or a sprinkle of orange zest before serving. Slice and serve chilled.
