Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, combine the chopped cranberries and sugar. Mix well to ensure the cranberries are coated. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
8 hrs

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cranberries to macerate and soften. (Refrigeration time: 8-12 hours)

03

Step
10 mins

After refrigeration, gently fold in the thawed whipped topping, drained crushed pineapple, marshmallows, and toasted nuts (if using) into the cranberry mixture. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed and the fluff has a consistent texture. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step
30 mins

Transfer the Chunky Cranberry Fluff to a serving dish. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. (Refrigeration time: 30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of orange liqueur or a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
To toast the nuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
If you prefer a smoother texture, pulse the cranberries in a food processor a few times instead of chopping them by hand.
Feel free to substitute other nuts like almonds or pecans based on your preference.
This fluff can be made 1-2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

    This is my go-to cranberry recipe now! It's so much better than the traditional cranberry sauce.

  • Alek Friesen

    So easy to make and a crowd-pleaser! I used pecans instead of walnuts and it was delicious.

  • Mathew Ledner

    I found it a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup and it was perfect.

  • Jan Barrowsrunolfsdottir

    This recipe was a hit at Thanksgiving! Everyone loved the combination of sweet and tart.

  • Judge Leffler

    I added a little orange zest and it really brightened up the flavor. Will definitely make again!
