Description

Cranberry Fluff Dessert is a light and fruity dish perfect for the holiday season, combining fresh cranberries, tart apples, and a fluffy whipped cream topping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 3 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups diced unpeeled tart apples
  • 1/2 cup halved green grapes
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped

Instructions

  1. Place fresh or frozen cranberries in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped for a consistent texture.
  2. Transfer chopped cranberries to a large bowl. Add miniature marshmallows and sugar, then gently stir to combine evenly.
  3. Cover the bowl and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and marshmallows to soften.
  4. Just before serving, fold in diced tart apples, halved grapes, chopped nuts, and salt, mixing thoroughly.
  5. Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the mixture, taking care to maintain the airy texture without overmixing.
  6. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy this light and fruity treat.

Notes

  • For a sweeter flavor, adjust the sugar to your preference.
  • This dessert can be made a day in advance for convenience.
  • Replace nuts with seeds for a nut-free version.
