Method
Prepare the Crust
- Butter a 10-inch pie plate generously. In a mixing bowl, combine the gingersnap crumbs with melted butter, mixing until fully coated. Press into the base and sides of the pie plate. Chill for 30 minutes.
Cook Cranberries
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Boil until the cranberries burst and thicken, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before blending until smooth. Chill cranberry puree for at least 15 minutes.
Mix Filling
- In a food processor, combine the cooled cranberry puree, softened cream cheese, and vanilla paste. Blend until smooth. Gently fold in Cool Whip Extra Creamy Whipped Topping until just combined.
Assemble Pie
- Spread the cranberry mousse filling into the set gingersnap crust. Smooth with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Garnish and Serve
- Once set, garnish with dollops of whipped topping, scatter sugared cranberries, and add fresh mint leaves. Slice and serve to your guests.

Notes
Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Ensure cream cheese is softened for easy blending. Chill the mousse adequately for the perfect texture.
