    My Christmas creation with fresh cranberries. In another season you can use sour cherries. Easy to prepare and amazing  for any sweet tooth person with health in mind.  Adding extra fiber by using ancient Amaranth makes this dish gluten-free.

    Ingredients

    • 12 oz fresh cranberries*
    • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
    • 1 TBSP orange zest
    • 4 oz cream cheese
    • 3 oz Greek yogurt
    • 1 oz sour cream
    • 1 cup and 3 TBSP whipping cream, divided
    • ½ tsp
    • 2 TBSP lemon juice
    • ½ TBSP vodka
    • ¼ tsp cinnamon
    • 1/3 cup puffed amaranth

    Instructions

    • In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, 1 TBSP orange juice, coconut sugar, and zest. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. (The berries will pop, and the juice will thicken. You want the berries stay whole, don’t mash them!) Let it cool slightly.
    • Meanwhile in a large bowl, with a , whip cream cheese, yogurt, sour cream, 3 TBSP cream, vanilla, and half of the ¼ cup coconut sugar. Beat in lemon juice, vodka and cinnamon. Set aside.
    • Select half a cup of most intact whole berries from the cooked cranberries. Then scoop half of the remnant cooked cranberry into the cream cheese mix, and purée until smooth. The cream cheese mix turns nice pink.
    • In a medium bowl mix the puréed and half of the un-puréed cranberries. Set aside the other half of unpureed cranberries for garnish in a small bowl.
    • Pour all the cranberries from the medium bowl into the cream cheese mixture. Mex, then fold in the amaranth.
    • In a small bowl, whip together the 1 cup cream and remaining coconut sugar and beat until thickened. Fold into the cream cheese - cranberry mixture. Mix carefully. Don’t break the fluffiness.
    • Pour this mixture into a serving bowl. Garnish with the extra unpureed cranberries.
    • Cover with a plastic wrap, and chill for the bowl 4 hours before serving.
