A light and fluffy dessert featuring tart cranberries and creamy whipped topping, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 container Cool Whip (or heavy cream)
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (canned)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse and sort fresh cranberries, discarding any that are bruised or shriveled.
- Combine cranberries and sugar in a saucepan. Cook until the cranberries burst and release their juices, then let cool.
- Fold together the chilled Cool Whip and crushed pineapple in a large bowl.
- Incorporate the cooled cranberry mixture, mixing until well combined.

Use chilled utensils and bowls to help the cream maintain its fluffiness. Fresh cranberries yield the best flavor, but frozen can be used if needed.
