Prepare the Cranberry Sauce
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine thawed cranberries, granulated sugar, orange juice, water, and vanilla extract.
- Stir gently and bring the mixture to a simmer, cooking for about 10 minutes until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool completely at room temperature.
Make the Crust
- Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor.
- Melt 5 tablespoons of butter, mix with the cookie crumbs, and press firmly into the bottom and sides of a pie pan.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to set.
Prepare the Filling
- Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until smooth.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Assemble the Pie
- Spread cream cheese filling over the chilled crust.
- Spoon the cooled cranberry sauce over the filling and swirl gently.
- Optionally pour melted dark chocolate ganache on top.
Chill the Pie
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Serve
- Once set, garnish with chocolate shavings and cranberries before slicing.

Notes
Chill heavy cream and cream cheese for fluffiest filling. Avoid overcooking cranberry sauce. Use a serrated knife for clean slices.
