Not that it was e'er wrong ... merely inward variation later variation of my "inspiration recipe," I kept having this nagging inkling that I could figure out a agency to move far fifty-fifty better.
See, inward variation later variation, ii things kept troubling me texture together with the score of cranberry flavor. Both of which merely weren't quite to my liking inward this fluff's master recipe.
I wanted a Cranberry Fluff Salad that had a creamy, fluffy texture amongst plenty "body" to concur its ain shape when spooned out onto a plate. And, I wanted it to gustation of cranberry.
The master recipe I used equally inspiration called for cream cheese equally the base of operations of the Cranberry Fluff Salad.
The showtime fourth dimension I made it, I used 1/3-less fatty cream cheese equally that's a regular commutation I create inward my kitchen. While the texture was indeed creamy, it was equally good loose to concur its shape. When spooned onto a plate, it crept all over, running into together with mingling amongst other foods on the plate.

I tried over again amongst the originally-called for regular cream cheese. Again, equally good loose a texture for me.
Would minute pudding mix live the reply to creamy, fluffy texture?
As is traditional inward many fluff salads, I added miniature marshmallows to absorb merely about of the wet together with come across if that would hand the trunk together with heft I was looking for.
Better. But withal non fluffy together with "hefty" enough.

Turns out, yes, it was.
With pudding mix added in, the Cranberry Fluff Salad was fluffy, creamy, together with held its ain inward price of shape when spooned onto a plate.
I together with then decided to come across if both cream cheese together with pudding mix were necessary inward the Cranberry Fluff Salad to make the coveted texture ... or, if pudding lonely could work. Because quite honestly, the cream cheese was also serving to significantly mask the cranberry flavor.
The answer?
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 resounding no!
No, in that place was no demand to include both cream cheese together with pudding mix. Pudding mix on its ain did merely fine inward giving the fluff the fluffy texture it needed. {And, equally you lot tin purpose sugar-free pudding merely fine, if you're looking to own got out at to the lowest degree a teeny flake of calories and/or fat, this is an added bonus.}
With the removal of the cream cheese, the cranberry season had move stronger. But I wondered if using a pudding season other than vanilla would allow the cranberry season come upwards through fifty-fifty more.
The answer?
White chocolate pudding!
Yes, using white chocolate flavored minute pudding allows the cranberry gustation to smooth through to a greater extent than distinctly than vanilla pudding did. While withal non overpowering inward cranberry flavor, this fluff's season is distinctly cranberry.
So instead of Cranberry Fluff Salad, I ended upwards creating a real tasty White Chocolate Cranberry Fluff Salad. And it's a season our household unit of measurement adores.
