Method
Crust Preparation
Make the Crust
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the ice water gradually until the dough comes together.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Filling Preparation
Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, mixing until fully combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until well combined.
Assembling and Baking
Assemble the Cake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled crust dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan.
Pour the cream cheese filling into the prepared crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
Allow to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
Topping Preparation
Prepare the Cranberry Topping
In a saucepan, combine fresh cranberries, granulated sugar, and water.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries pop and the mixture thickens.
Allow to cool slightly before topping the chilled cake.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
