Better than Ice Cream-Creamy Cranberry Freeze
Creamy Cranberry Freeze– This is for Joy of Joy of Dessert for her Ice Cream party tomorrow. 
Above is a melt-down.
This is not technically an ice cream but it is a yummy frozen dessert. I also use it as a side dish at a meal that is too tasty. It leaves a cool feeling in one’s mouth. This is one of my favorites. It has a mix of the tart and the sweet.
When it melts a little, it is creamy and decadent.
This comes from a Cook Book, Treasury of Desserts, that should be kept hidden. It has 365 pages, three recipes to most pages and photos. One recipe is better than the next. It is published by Publications International, ltd. I believe it this book sits out, you will be in the kitchen using it. To make it worse, I am not sure if it is, on the market anymore. I haven’t had time to check.
Creamy Cranberry Freeze adapted
Ingredients
6 ounces cream cheese (I use whipped)
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 sixteen ounce can of cranberry sauce
1 eleven ounce can of mandarin orange sections well drained
8 ounce can of crushed pineapple, well drained (I used tidbits and diced them because I did not have crushed pineapple)
8 ounce container frozen non dairy whipped topping, thawed
Top with some Hazelnut Brittle Crumbs (optional)
Directions”
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in corn syrup until smooth. Reduce speed to low. Beat in cranberry sauce, either whole or smooth, until combined. Stir, by hand, mandarin oranges and pineapple.
Gently fold in whipped topping just until combined – by hand. Spoon into a mold or a square pan. Cover and freeze for six hours or overnight.
When you are planning to use it, remove from freezer and have it stand from 10 minutes to 30 minutes. This depends on how cold your freezer is.
Garnish with fresh fruit or some mandarin oranges and mint.
Makes 9 – 12 servings —- Take a look below at a slice and all the goodies inside.

This recipe reminds me of a Plombiere ice cream. It has bits of many fruits in it too. Thank you for participating, Chaya.
