    Spoon 1/3 of whipped cream mixture over chocolate mixture. Stir cranberry sauce to break up pieces; drop half of cranberry sauce by spoonfuls over whipped cream mixture. Pull knife through cranberry sauce and whipped cream to swirl. Repeat with another 1/3 of whipped cream mixture and remaining cranberry sauce. Spoon or pipe remaining 1/3 of whipped cream mixture around outside edge of pie. Refrigerate 6 hours or until firm. Store in refrigerator.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Different brands of semi-sweet chocolate chips and white baking bars vary in flavor and melting properties. Experiment with various brands to find out which melt and taste best.
  • tip 2
    The chocolate chips can be melted with the whipping cream in a small heavy saucepan over low heat. The white baking bar can be melted with the whipping cream in the same manner; use a medium saucepan and transfer the melted mixture to a large mixing bowl.
