Notes
- Can You Use Homemade Whipped Cream?
- Can You Use Homemade Whipped Cream?
- You can use homemade whipped cream but just keep in mind any leftover cranberry fluff may not keep as well. Cool Whip is more stable and holds up better while whipped cream can start breaking down after a day or two in the refrigerator.
- If you want to make whipped cream, be sure to whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Wait to do this until just before you’re ready to mix the salad and don’t make it too far in advance.
- How Long Does Cranberry Fluff Keep?
- How Long Does Cranberry Fluff Keep?
- Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for four days. As it sits, the cranberry juice may separate from the whipped topping so stir it well before serving it.
- Tips For The Best Cranberry Fluff!
- If you use frozen thawed cranberries you may need to drain them again after you chop them in the food processor.
- Don’t skip the chilling step. Allowing the cranberries to soak in the sugar will ensure the sugar is dissolved so it doesn’t make your salad grainy. It also sweetens the cranberries so your salad isn’t too tart.
