Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 can jellied cranberry sauce (about 14 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Combine Cranberry Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat together the jellied cranberry sauce, sugar, and almond extract until well mixed and smooth. Set aside.
- Whip Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. This means when you lift the beaters, the peaks will gently flop over.
- Fold Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture using a spatula. Do this carefully to maintain the light, airy texture of the whipped cream while fully incorporating the cranberry mixture.
- Serve: The dessert is best served immediately to enjoy the fresh, fluffy texture, though it can be chilled briefly if preferred.
Notes
- For best results, use cold heavy cream and chill your bowl before whipping to help the cream whip faster and better.
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the sugar amount to suit your taste preference.
- Almond extract adds a subtle nutty flavor, but you can substitute with vanilla extract if desired.
- This dessert is naturally gluten-free.
- To serve later, refrigerate but gently stir before serving to restore texture.
