Dairy-Free Cranberry Fluff

6 -8 servings
Tart-sweet cranberries, sponge-like marshmallows, and crunchy pomegranate seeds make dairy-free cranberry fluff the BEST dairy-free Thanksgiving side dish ever!
My top tips are to drain crushed pineapple as much as possible and buy a pre-seeded pomegranate to save time!

Ingredients

  • 1 (10-ounce) bag fresh whole cranberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 20 ounce can crushed pineapple drained
  • 1 (9-ounce) container So Delicious Cocowhip
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 pomegranate seeded

Instructions

  • Place the cranberries and sugar in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Drain the crushed pineapple in a colander, pressing on the fruit to extract as much liquid as possible. Add the cranberry mixture, crushed pineapple and mix to combine. Gently fold in the cocowhip and marshmallows.
  • Pour the mixture into a serving dish. Let sit for at least 6 hours and up to overnight. Top with pomegranate seeds. Enjoy!

Notes

  • To store: Store leftover cranberry fluff in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. I don't recommend freezing cranberry fluff — it becomes grainy when thawed.
  • To make ahead: This is the perfect make-ahead side dish to help minimize stress on Thanksgiving day. Since the fluff needs to chill at least 6 hours, you can make one day in advance, then pull out of the fridge just before serving.
  • To make vegan: Use vegan dandies marshmallows.
