Step‑By‑Step Instructions

  3. Par-bake the crust for 10 minutes with weights, then an additional 10 minutes until lightly golden.
  4. Combine cranberries and orange juice in a saucepan; simmer for 4-5 minutes until most berries burst.
  5. Purée the cranberry mixture until smooth and strain to extract 2 cups of juice.
  6. Mix sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, cranberry mixture, and orange zest until thick and homogeneous.
  7. Pour filling into the par-baked crust and bake for 30-35 minutes until the center wobbles slightly.
  8. Cool on a wire rack for about 2 hours to firm up before refrigerating.
