Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh or frozen cranberries
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 cup Whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, granulated sugar, and water.

Step 2

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries pop and the mixture thickens slightly, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the cranberry mixture from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Once cooled, use a blender or food processor to puree the cranberry mixture until smooth. If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream with a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form.

Step 6

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cranberry puree, being careful not to deflate the cream.

Step 7

Stir in the vanilla extract and lime juice until evenly combined.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.

Step 10

Before serving, let the Cranberry Freeze sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to slightly soften for easier scooping.
