Orange Cranberry Custard Pie
This Orange Cranberry Custard Pie comes together in about 5 minutes. Seriously. You just put ingredients in the food processor and turn it on. And then whip some cream to top it with. It is the easiest dessert to grace your Thanksgiving table. This easy recipe is low carb, keto, gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free, and Trim Healthy Mama friendly.
I hope the rest of you like cranberries as much as I do because I still have two other cranberry recipes coming after this one. And then I’m done. Promise. But they just have such a beautiful color and vibrant flavor. And they are the only berry in season this time of year.
I love white serving pieces. They are so classic and timeless. I prefer to dress up my table with linens and flowers. They are more inexpensive to change out with the seasons. I collect white serving pieces in all shapes and sizes. I was thrilled when Emile Henry sent me this beautiful white 9-inch pie plate.
Custard Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups fresh cranberries, divided
1 cup Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp orange extract
4 oz cream cheese
3 eggs
Whipped Cream:
8 oz heavy whipping cream
1 tbsp powdered sweetener to taste
1/2 tsp orange extract
dried cranberries, optional
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350.
Combine 2 cups of the cranberries and the rest of the filling ingredients in a food processor. Process until smooth. Pour into a greased pie plate. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cranberries on top.
Bake for 50 minutes or until the center only jiggles slightly. Cool completely.
Whip the heavy cream until peaks form. Add the sweetener and extract. Mix well. Spread on top of the cooled pie. Garnish with dried cranberries if desired.
Since this does not have a bottom crust you won’t get perfect triangle slices. It’s easier to just scoop some on the plate. Feel free to bake it in an 8×8 square baking dish if you prefer.

I made this for Thanksgiving. I absolutely loved it. I ate the majority of it by myself
This looks beyond amazing! I tend to spend all of my money on food, specifically soup (I can eat it all day, every day, and any time of the year). I haven’t heard of some of your ingredients but would love to try this recipe for sure!
Thank you so much for wonderful recipes! What I love about your website most of all is that you post not only great recipes and descriptions but also stunning photos of food! Have a nice day!
My boyfriend loved these. He did request I put more cheese on them next time though. I am also going to substitute the regular marinara for a traditional pasta sauce, but that’s more of my preference.
I don’t have much Gentle Sweet left, can I sub THM Super Sweet and if so how much?
Yes, you should be able to. Here is a chart: http://trimhealthymama.com/sweetener
Taryn, I mentioned on Facebook that I grew up with custard pies. They are so delicious. The colors in this cranberry custard pie are amazing. I love cranberries so much and I can’t wait to see the other recipes you post.
Thanks Kim!
I’m so enjoying the cranberry recipes! This sounds lovely and the ruffled pie plate is stunning 🙂
Love the combination of cranberries, cream cheese and whipped cream! I wouldn’t miss the crust at all!
I love cranberry season! This custard sounds delicious, I can’t wait to see the other recipes!
I am a dessert person, and this pie looks like it needs to be made asap! Thank you for this delicious recipe
What is GS?
Sorry, that was shorthand for: Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet. I forgot to fix it before hitting the post button. I just did 🙂
