Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh cranberries
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry.
Using a food processor or blender, pulse the cranberries until they are finely chopped. Be careful not to puree them completely.
Transfer the chopped cranberries to a mixing bowl and stir in the granulated sugar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Once the cranberry mixture has chilled, drain off any excess liquid. Stir in the drained crushed pineapple and mini marshmallows. If using nuts, fold them in at this stage.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the salad set and the flavors develop.
Serve chilled as a side dish or dessert. Enjoy!
