Hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas with a house full of family, friends, and love, enjoy the holiday's!
There is nothing like Grandma's famous cranberry fluff that my aunt makes every year, however I don't eat the usual ingredients of cool whip or marshmallows, so what's a girl to do? Veganize it! So I did, it was delicious and tastes almost just like her yummy recipe I grew up eating :) Hope you enjoy it too!
Makes about 4-5 cups
1/2lb package whole cranberries, or 1 can organic jellied cranberries with cranberry pieces
1 1/2 cups pineapple, or 1 can pineapple chunks, drained (slice if you want them smaller)
1 15oz can organic coconut milk *
1/2 cup vegan powdered sugar, or to taste *
1oz chopped walnuts
2 cups vegan marshmallows (optional)
-First put your can of coconut milk into the fridge overnight, no need to shake or anything else.
-Carefully open your can of coconut milk and scoop out the thick white part into a 1 quart size mixing bowl, it ends up being about 1/2-3/4 of the can, try not to get too much of the more liquid part.
-Use a hand mixer to mix the powdered sugar into the coconut milk until you get stiff peaks like thick cool whip.
- For your cranberries you can grind the whole cranberries into small pieces using a food processor, blender, or if you happened to have a meat grinder :/ that works well.
-Fold all the ingredients together and chill until served.
*UPDATE: since posting this recipe they have come out with vegan "Cool Whip" and other non-dairy alternatives, so if you want you could just substitute the coconut milk and powdered sugar with one of these. My favorite that is pretty easy to find is Coco Whip.
