Ingredients

Crust

10 Tbsp (1 stick + 2 Tbl) unsalted butter, softened

1/2 C confectioners' sugar

2 tsp orange zest

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/4 C flour

1/2 c cornstarch

1/4 tsp salt

Cranberry Topping

3 C fresh or frozen cranberries

1/4 C orange juice

1 C sugar

1 tsp orange zest, plus additional for garnish

Marscapone Filling

1 C marscapone cheese, chilled

1/2 C heavy cream, chilled

1/4 C confectioners' sugar

1 tsp orange zest

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

350 oven

Butter a 9 inch pie plate or 9" tart pan with removable bottom

In a large bowl beat butter, confectioners' sugar, orange zest and vanilla extract on medium until well blended

Sift together flour, cornstarch and salt and add to bowl

Mix on low just until dough forms crumbs and it's well blended about 15 seconds

Transfer crumbs to prepared pan

Press dough smoothly and evenly onto bottom and sides of pan

Using a fork, prick top of dough lightly

Bake at 350 for 20 to 23 minutes, until edge of crust is lightly browned

cool completely before filling

Topping

In a medium saucepan combine cranberries, orange juice, sugar and zest

Over medium high heat bring to a boil, stirring constantly

Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, about 5 minutes until syrupy and cranberries start to break down, resembling a jam

Refrigerate for at least an hour to thicken slightly

Topping can be made ahead, covered and refrigerated

Filling

In a large bowl, beat marscapone, cream, confectioners' sugar, orange zest and vanilla on medium high until thickened and firm peaks form, about 3 minutes

Assemble tart, spreading filling in cooled crust

Refrigerate at least two hours or overnight

Just before serving, spoon cranberry topping over slices and add orange zest if desired
