Cranberry Mousse – Debesmanna

HA!  Something to do with Cream of Wheat aside from eating it “as is” for breakfast!

Farina undergoes an unexpected transformation from hot cereal to airy pudding in this tart-sweet Latvian dessert, which is typically served with milk poured on top. This recipe first appeared in our May 2011 issue, with the article Riga Revisited. Yield: serves 6-8

Ingredients

  • 3 cups unsweetened cranberry juice
  • 12 cup sugar
  • 12 cup farina or cream of wheat
  • Milk, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring juice and sugar to a boil in a 2-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in farina, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk, and process on medium-high until thick and doubled in volume, about 12 minutes. Serve in bowls with milk poured over top, if desired.

Sugar-Free Cranberry Raspberry Jello Salad

I used this recipe, leaving out the pineapple and the cream cheese topping (I didn’t think that would taste good slathered all over my turkey). This was good but, of course, would be better with the pineapple. I looked EVERYWHERE for a sugar-free alternative for the pineapple (well, all over in the one store). If they would have had diet pineapple soda or pineapple Koolaid packets, I would have been happy but nothing! This is missing that deep sweetness only pineapple can bring but otherwise it’s good!
