Cranberry Mousse



The first recipe I posted in 2013 was a cranberry recipe. The last recipe I'm posting in 2013 is also a cranberry recipe. This was not planned!  This recipe has just the right amount of sweetness and the right about of tartness to tickle your palate. It's kind of high in P+, but so worth it!

 



CRANBERRY MOUSSE

Makes 4 Servings

1 Serving = 7 PointsPlus™

 

12 oz. fresh cranberries, rinsed

1 small (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple, drained (OR pineapple bits, drained)

1 pkg (8 oz.) Neufchatel cream cheese

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 of an 8 oz. tub of fat-free whipped topping.

 

Grind berries in a blender or food processor. If you are using pineapple bits, put them in with the berries.

 

In a medium bowl, blend the cream cheese and powdered sugar using an electric mixer. Fold in the whipped topping by hand.

 

Add the berry/pineapple mixture to the whipped topping mixture.

 

 

Spoon into 4 dessert dishes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour until 'set'.

 

MY SPIN: One of these days I'm going to dig out my food processor and learn how to use it. Doing the berries and pineapple in a blender......I had to stop and use a spatula to mix them up a bit to be sure they all got 'smooshed'!

 

Enjoy!!
