Do I’ve to make my very own cranberry sauce?

No. You possibly can completely use a ready or canned cranberry sauce. However I believe do-it-yourself cranberry sauce tastes higher so advocate going that route.

Make the date nut crust

So. You possibly can go basic with a graham cracker + butter crust however I just like the pure sweetness and crunch from combining almonds and dates. Plus, the almonds and cranberries are the right taste pairing.

To make it, merely add pitted dates and almonds (or pecans) to a meals processor. Pulse till the almonds are finely chopped and dates begin to stick collectively. When it’s prepared, the combination will begin to clump collectively and can maintain its form once you press it between two fingers.

As soon as the crust is prepared, press it firmly into the underside of the jars.

Suggestions for fulfillment

Examine your dates for pits. It takes no time to pit dates however it’s straightforward to neglect.

Use plump dates. In case your dates are beginning to dry out, the crust won’t come collectively simply. If you’re pulsing away for some time with no signal that the crust will come collectively, add a teaspoon of water at a time till the crust begins to clump as proven within the image above.

Use room temperature cream cheese. Irrespective of when you’re utilizing common or non-dairy, this recipe won’t work with chilly cream cheese. So you must keep in mind to take it out of the fridge not less than an hour earlier than beginning this recipe. You can even let the yogurt sit for a bit at room temperature for simpler whisking however I used chilled yogurt with out a problem.

Substitutions

This recipe is kind of forgiving so you can also make it your individual. However as a result of it’s so easy, it’s vital to make use of high-quality components every time potential.

Cream cheese. The cream cheese is the star of this recipe. I used common cream cheese however you may use vegan – almond or cashew primarily based cream cheese. Be mindful these could also be a bit drier. Both means, you need to depart it at room temperature to correctly soften.

Greek yogurt. It is a dessert so I like full-fat Greek yogurt for the flavour and texture. I don’t advocate going with a decrease fats yogurt however it might work.

Nuts. You need to use pecans, walnuts, or pistachios in the same amount for this recipe. The flavour can be barely totally different however the crust will work.

Almonds provide probably the most impartial taste and pair properly with the cranberry sauce. Almonds are additionally very straightforward to seek out and shelf secure making it straightforward to tug collectively this dessert with ease.

Sugar. I do know that lots of you like to make use of unrefined sugar. That’s why I used a little bit, not a whole lot of honey. You can even use powdered sugar as a substitute – merely add it to the cream cheese and yogurt combination earlier than whisking.  

Make this recipe a day forward of time. Cowl and serve chilled.

It’s the right dessert to serve for a vacation brunch or ceremonial dinner. However you can even take these on the go for dessert with a good friend.
