Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz. Fresh cranberries
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 3 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 4 oz. Cream Cheese - room temperature
  • 1-1/2 tbsp Yellow Dog Sweet Shake
  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 cup Toasted shelled pistachios
  • 1 cup Red or green seedless grapes - halved

Method
 

  1. Pulse cranberries in a food processor until finely chopped be sure to leave some coarse pieces remaining, about 6 pulses.
  2. Transfer to a large bowl, and stir in sugar, Yellow Dog Sweet Shake, and marshmallows. Cover and chill 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Beat cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until creamy and free of lumps, about 1 to 2 minutes, scrape down sides as needed. Add 1 cup heavy cream, and continue beating until mixture starts to thicken, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 1 cup cream, and continue beating until soft peaks form.
  4. Fold the cream mixture into the cranberry mixture, and stir in salt, pistachios, and grapes. Serve immediately, or cover and chill for up to 3 days. Be sure to leave the pistachios out if you store this, and then add them right before serving.
