Let’s make some cranberry treats!
Cranberry Thumbprint Gingerbread Cookies
These gingerbread cookies with cranberry sauce thumbprints are the perfect cookie for the holidays because they work just as well for Thanksgiving as they do for Christmas. Plus, they look really cute in a cookie box.
Cranberry Cheesecake with Pistachio (No-Bake)
I just love these mini cranberry cheesecakes with pistachio. They’re no bake but they look so impressive. The crust is biscoff cookie and the balance between the cranberry and creaminess is great.
Cranberry Truffles with Eggnog
These cranberry truffles feature eggnog and pistachios. It’s a great balance of flavors where the tart cranberry cuts the richness of eggnog. And the best part is they’re a no-bake dessert recipe!
Cranberry Parfaits
There really isn’t an easier cranberry recipe than these cranberries parfaits. Simply use canned cranberry sauce, yogurt and pre-made granola and you can have a pretty cranberry dish in less than 5 minutes.
How to make cranberry parfaits:
- Add granola of your choice to bottom of cups (pumpkin granola works great for a fall vibe)
- Layer vanilla yogurt on top. You can also use plain yogurt but I like vanilla to cut the tart of cranberry
- Top with cranberry sauce
Candied Cranberries
Sugared cranberries are probably the easiest cranberry recipe there is. They’re only 3-ingredients and take less than 5-minutes to make. They’re great on their own but also make pretty garnishes for other cranberry desserts.
