Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
- 1 cup Sugar
- 8 ounces Crushed pineapple
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh cranberries and place them in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix the chopped cranberries with the sugar until well combined. Cover the bowl and let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes to macerate.
Step 3
Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to remove any excess liquid. Add the pineapple to the cranberry mixture.
Step 4
Stir in the mini marshmallows and nuts until evenly distributed.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, use a mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and gently fold the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture until fully incorporated.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe dish or individual serving cups. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a tight lid and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.
Step 8
To serve, let the dessert sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping or slicing. Garnish with additional nuts if desired and enjoy!
