Cranberry Fluff

A creamy, sweet, and tangy holiday dessert or side dish made with fresh cranberries, pineapple, marshmallows, and a whipped cream base.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces fresh cranberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces crushed pineapple, drained
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Add the cranberries and granulated sugar to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until very well chopped, but not completely pureed. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla; whip until stiff peaks form.
  3. Fold the mulched cranberries and drained crushed pineapple into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Then gently fold in the mini marshmallows.
  4. Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

For a nuttier texture, add 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts. If you prefer a sweeter fluff, increase the granulated sugar by 1/4 cup. This dish can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
