Ingredients:

Crust:
4 scoops Creamy Vanilla HLTH Code
4 Tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup monkfruit classic
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract (optional)
1 egg

2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup powdered monk fruit
1/2 tsp xanthan gum

White chocolate drizzle:
4 tbsp sugar-free white chocolate chips
1/2 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F
CRUST:
To make the bottom crust layer, combine all ingredients (adding the egg last) into a medium-sized bowl and stir well until a dough is formed
Place dough between two pieces of parchment paper and use rolling pin to roll out or use hands to gently compress evenly into the bottom of a 8” x 12” pan to form a crust
Bake at 350 F for 10-12 minutes
Remove from oven and then place in refrigerator to cool

FILLING:
Add half of the water (1/4) cup and 2 cups cranberries to a saucepan. Place on low heat on a stove top, stirring occasionally.
When cranberries get soft, mash them while in the pan with a spoon and stir
Once all the cranberries are mashed, pour in powdered monk fruit and rest of the water (1/4 cup) and stir well
Then sprinkle the xanthan gum on top and let sit for a few minutes to let the filling thicken
Stir all together and pour cranberry filling on top of cooled crust layer
Bake again on 350 F for 8-10 minutes for filling to set and then remove from oven
Microwave white chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 15-second increments stirring in between
Drizzle white chocolate over top of filling and let cool in the refrigerator for about 2 hours before cutting.
Enjoy!
