- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry.
Step 2
Using a food processor or blender, pulse the cranberries until they are finely chopped. Be careful not to puree them completely.
Step 3
Transfer the chopped cranberries to a mixing bowl and stir in the granulated sugar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 4
Once the cranberry mixture has chilled, drain off any excess liquid. Stir in the drained crushed pineapple and mini marshmallows. If using nuts, fold them in at this stage.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
Step 6
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the salad set and the flavors develop.
Step 8
Serve chilled as a side dish or dessert. Enjoy!
