Cranberry Cream Freeze

“Keep this prizewinning frozen dessert on hand for holiday entertaining--“
2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 (16-ounce) can whole cranberry sauce

Combine crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar, and butter; press into bottom of 8-inch springform pan. Beat together cream cheese and 1/4 cup sugar until fluffy. Working quickly, beat in ice cream, a heaping tablespoon at a time. (Ice cream should be firm but not frozen hard. You may need to let it stand in the refrigerator several minutes to soften.) Pour over crust. Stir cranberry sauce; drop by spoonfuls into ice cream mixture. Cover; freeze about 4 hours until firm.--
