Merry Cranberry Fluff Salad
A delightful and festive Cranberry Fluff Salad, perfect for holiday gatherings. This light and airy salad combines cooked cranberries with juicy pineapple, sweet coconut, mini marshmallows, and a creamy whipped topping, finished with vibrant pomegranate seeds.
Equipment
- Large Pot
- Large Bowl
- Hand Mixer
Ingredients
- 12 ounce package fresh cranberries (3 cups)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 20 ounce can crushed pineapple well drained
- 2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds (from ½ a large pomegranate)
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the fresh cranberries, sugar, water, and cinnamon. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it gently simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the cranberries to soften. Transfer this colorful mixture to a large bowl and allow it to cool completely. This step cooks down the cranberries perfectly!
- Next, using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract on high speed until lovely medium to stiff peaks form (this usually takes about 3-4 minutes). Be careful not to overbeat it; we want it light and airy!
- Once your cranberry mixture is completely cool, gently fold in the whipped cream, well-drained crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and fluffy mini marshmallows. Stir just until everything is combined. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or even overnight for the best flavors.
- Right before you're ready to serve, sprinkle generously with the bright pomegranate seeds. Enjoy this festive and light treat!
