Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cranberry Layer
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup Chambord liqueur
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 2 cups cranberries, fresh or frozen
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup pecans, chopped
Cranberry Layer
Place the sugar, Chambord, orange juice, and cranberries in a medium-sized saucepan. Heat on medium heat and cook until the cranberries burst. Using a masher, tamp the berries to help break them. Cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Cool for a few minutes. Then move the mixture into the refrigerator to chill. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
After the cranberries chill, spoon them over the cold cream cheese layer and sprinkle pecans over the cranberry layer.
Serve with cinnamon pita chips or graham crackers.
