Cranberry fluff is not your average salad and it has become a staple side dish at many homes during Thanksgiving. Not only it is easy to make this favorite dish even saves space in the oven because it’s just a salad that you can keep cool in the fridge.

I lightened this dish up by replacing the sugar with a can of crushed pineapple which will help sweeten the cranberries up and using Cool Whip instead of heavy cream. The Instant vanilla pudding gives it even more flavor.

- Cool Whip - A frozen whipped topping that is found in the freezer section of the grocery store. I like it a lot because I’m lazy and don’t like beating heavy cream to making whipped cream. 😉
- Instant Vanilla Pudding - This is such a versatile ingredient to use in many desserts, I love them cause there’s so many flavors. Just add in milk to the pudding. There are different sizes of pudding mix. The regular pudding mix are 3.4 oz and the sugar-free are 1oz. Both require the same amount of milk used.
- Raw Cranberries - Use a food processor to finely chop them
- Crushed Pineapple - drained
- Marshmallows - pre-cooked, and chopped.

How do you figure out points for recipes?

Why am I still getting different points from what you have listed?
This could be quite a number of reasons and here are a few that I have come across.

That's fine as well. The sugar-free ones are 1 oz boxes I believe.
Chloe Hoffman says
I love this recipe! I cannot find 1oz box of vanilla pudding so I use one 3.4oz of vanilla pudding per batch. I also use coco whip to make this recipe diary free. And I use mandarin oranges too instead of pineapple
Jenna says
You don't need any sugar. I updated the post so it wasn't confusing.
Hannah says
How much sugar should you add? Didn't see it listed in your recipe.
