RECIPE
Ingredients
Cranberry Raspberry Jam
- 2 cups Cape Cod Select frozen cranberries
- 3/4 cup raspberry jam
- Zest of half a lemon
Lemon Cream Cheese Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature (full fat, brick style)
- Zest of one lemon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 1/2 cups heavy cream, cold
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- About 14 full sheets of cinnamon or honey graham crackers
- Line a 9X5 loaf pan with plastic wrap, covering the bottom and all sides, making sure it comes up the sides for easy removal.
- Place the cranberries, lemon zest, and raspberry jam in a medium saucepan, and stir until combined. Bring to a boil and then simmer, stirring occasionally until thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Place in the refrigerator until cold.
- Using the whisk attachment or beaters, beat the cream cheese and lemon zest until fluffy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove the cream cheese from the bowl and set aside.
- Beat the heavy cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Place the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream, beat until completely combined and thickened. The peaks should be stiff.
- Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on the bottom of the pan, top with graham crackers, creating a single even layer (this will be the top)
- Spread 1 cup of the cream cheese mixture on top of the graham crackers, spreading it evenly. Top with 1/2 cup of the jam, spreading it evenly. Top with an even single layer of graham crackers. Repeat this process, ending with the graham crackers.
- Place in the freezer for 5 hours to set up, place in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving. Place a plate on top of the pan and flip it over, remove the plastic wrap, cut slices. Freeze leftovers and defrost in the refrigerator before serving.
