Cranberry Fluff

I had something similar to this in 2014 and I was craving it for Thanksgiving this year. I received numerous compliments and requests for the recipe!

This recipe has two components that need to be made seperately.


Cranberry sauce:
-2/3 cup sugar
-1/2 cup orange juice (no sugar added or freshly squeezed)
-1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
-One 12-ounce bag cranberries


Fluff:
-1.5 cups fresh pineapple 
-3 cans of coconut milk (separated) - refrigerate overnight
-2 packages of cocowhip 18oz.
-1 cup crushed walnuts
-1 pack of Dandies (vegan marshmallows)



What to do
:
-Combine the cranberry sauce ingredients in a pot. 
-Cook ingredients on medium high heat.
-Stir occasionally.
-Cranberries will begin to burst.  Lower heat and begin to stir slowly until the cranberries start to break down.
-Once the cranberries have broken down to desired consistency, remove from heat.
-Let cool overnight…or at least a few hours until it has become a jelly


-Take your cans of coconut milk and open them from the bottom.  Drain out all of the liquid.
-Scoop the coconut butter into a mixing bowl.
-Add the Cocowhip (or any other vegan whipped cream)
-Mix the ingredients together.
-Slowly incorporate the pineapple and walnuts into the mixture.
-Slow down the mixing and add the marshmallows. 
-Once everything is all mixed together nicely, add the cranberry sauce and fold in.  Due to the coconut butter, the mixture will be a bit stiff….that is good!
-Chill and serve!
