Cranberry fluff
A chilled cranberry dessert with pineapple, marshmallows and whipped cream.
Plan ahead: the fruit rests for an hour, then the assembled dessert chills for three hours. This is a sweet dessert-style salad, served in small bowls.
Ingredients
Estimated: Approximately 6–8 servings · Preparation: 20 minutes · Cooking: 0 minutes · Additional chilling/cooling: 240 minutes
- 340 g fresh cranberries, rinsed and sorted
- 200 g caster sugar
- 225 g canned crushed pineapple with its juice
- 115 g cream cheese, softened
- 480 ml whipping cream, chilled
- 100 g mini marshmallows
Method
- Chop the cranberries finely. Combine with the sugar and pineapple in a covered bowl; refrigerate for about one hour.
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually whisk in the cream until the mixture holds its shape.
- Spoon off excess juice from the fruit, then gently fold the fruit and marshmallows through the cream.
- Cover and refrigerate for about three hours. Serve chilled; keep the remaining dessert refrigerated.
