Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bag fresh cranberries
1 1/2 c sugar
8 oz cream cheese
½ c walnuts or pecans, chopped
8 oz can crushed pineapple-drained
½ of a regular sized container Cool Whip or about 3 cups, though this is personal preference. If you want it creamier you can add more. Or about 3 c sweetened whipped cream.

Steps:

  • Chop cranberries finely in food processor. Empty into a big bowl. Add sugar to cranberries and stir well.
  • Chop nuts in processor. Add to cranberries.
  • Whip cream cheese in processor and add to bowl. Stir in drained, crushed pineapple. Fold in Cool Whip or whipped cream.
  • Freeze in lightly greased pans that have been greased with Pam or canola oil.
  • I use 1- 9 x 5 or 2- 8 x 4 loaf pans, or muffin tins that have been line with paper liners.
  • When ready to serve, let thaw for about 10 minutes before unmolding. Slice into pretty slices OR just serve the individual ones from the muffin pan on a rimmed tray.
