I\u2019ve shared my Cranberry Fluff recipe before- but I\u2019ve perfected it. And though my Grandmother is probably rolling over in her grave, I\u2019ve made it easier\u2026 and maybe a smidgen tastier. (Sorry, Mam!)<\/p>\n

This is seriously the EASIEST Holiday side you will ever make! It\u2019s delicious, contains cranberries- making it perfect for this time of year, and everyone is always wowed by it. I have to make it (for both sides of my family) every Thanksgiving. So, I thought I\u2019d share my secrets with you.<\/p>\n

First, gather your ingredients- ya know, all 3 of them.<\/p>\n

\"cranberry-fluff-ingredients\"<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all you need; cranberries, walnuts, and cool whip. I prefer creamy, but whatever you like is fine. (BONUS- I tried this recipe with the\u00a0So Delicious Dairy Free Coconut Whip<\/a>\u00a0and it was just as good. And DAIRY FREE! But, back to you dairy people\u2026)<\/p>\n

Be sure to rinse your cranberries and check for bad ones. Sometimes you\u2019ll get a soft or rotten one, make sure to get those out. Then let them dry for a few minutes. Wet cranberries mixed with whipped cream is not tasty.<\/p>\n

\"cranberry-fluff-diced-cranberries\"<\/p>\n

These next steps you\u2019re going to need a food processor for. My Mam also sometimes used a meat grinder. But, I\u2019m betting you\u2019re more likely to own a food processor. Just chop the cranberries until they\u2019re a nice, smaller consistency. A little chunky, but not too much.<\/p>\n

\"cranberry-fluff-walnuts\"<\/p>\n

Do the same with about 1\/2 that bag of walnuts, depending on what size you use. It\u2019s not an exact science, which is another reason I love this recipe so much<\/p>\n

\"cranberry-fluff-mixture\"<\/p>\n

Toss your chopped cranberries and walnuts together in a bowl.<\/p>\n

\"cranberry-fluff-cream\"<\/p>\n

Go ahead and put in that whole container of whipped cream. We\u2019re not on diets here- this is the Holidays.<\/p>\n

\"cranberry-fluff-mixture-2\"<\/p>\n

You can go ahead and stop at this point if you like. You\u2019ll have a nice tart and somewhat pinkish mixture. But, it\u2019s delicious nonetheless. My Mam swore by putting a few drops of red food coloring in to make it a little prettier. I have to agree it looks much more appetizing. But, if you don\u2019t like red dye\u2026feel free to leave it out. She also used to put a little extra sugar in, but I prefer it more tart.<\/p>\n

\"cranberry-fluff-final3\"<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s it! I bet you didn\u2019t even work up a sweat preparing this cranberry fluff. No cooking, no baking, no stressing. You can wow your guests with minimal work, and that\u2019s always a win in my book!<\/p>\n

\"cranberry-fluff-final2\"<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favorite Holiday side? Let me know if you try my family\u2019s recipe- and I would love to know what you think.<\/p>\n
