Author: CakesCottage
Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 8-10
Ingredients
3 cups fresh cranberries
1½ cup sugar, divided
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
In a food processor, pulse until the cranberries are finely chopped without turning to complete mush.
* Now there are two ways to do this Salad. The old fashioned overnight way, and the same day way.
OVERNIGHT WAY :
In a large bowl, combine cranberries, 1 cup of sugar and pineapple, cover and refrigerate ovenight to let the flavors blend.
In a medium bowl beat the cream cheese and whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Stir in whipped cream and marshmallows gently.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or until ready to serve. Mix before serving.
SAME DAY WAY :
In a large bowl, combine cranberries, 1 cup of sugar and pineapple, set aside.
In a medium bowl beat the cream cheese, ½ cup sugar and whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Stir in whipped cream and marshmallows gently.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or until ready to serve. Mix before serving.
* The salad may seem a bit liquidy when you first stir it all together,
don't worry because the marshmallows will absorb a lot of the moisture during refrigeration.
You can also add more marshmallows, if necessary.
