- Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 1-2 minutes, until well blended.
- Stir in 1 cup rolled oats with a wooden spoon.
- Press half of the oat mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
- Add 1 cup white chocolate chips to the remaining oat mixture. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crust.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1 (14 oz) can whole berry cranberry sauce until well combined.
- Spoon the cranberry mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
