Want an easy, easy, easy treat? This Cherry Fluff Salad is one of my favorite, easy recipes. Some people think of it as a dessert and while it’s definitely a sweet treat, it can fall into the fruit salad category, too. Whether it’s served with a meal or after, it’s delicious! Did I mention how easy it is to make?

This is an old recipe that has been around for ever. There are quite a few variations of it, but I’m sharing my favorite and one I’ve been making for decades! My family looks at me kind of strangely when I eat this with a meal, but it goes great with a holiday turkey or ham to me. It is really sweet, so serving it as a dessert works, too.

I’ve seen a number of variations for this, some add nuts, some add coconut, some don’t use the condensed milk, but for my recipe, I use five ingredients and it takes about five minutes to make.

Ingredients

21 oz Cherry Pie Filling
8 oz Crushed Pineapple (Drained)
14 oz Condensed Milk
8-10 oz Mini Marshmallows
16 oz Whipped Topping

Instructions

Combine pie filling and milk in large bowl and stir together.
Drain pineapple and add to bowl. Stir.
Add marshmallows and stir.
Fold in the whipped topping and stir until it's fully incorporated.
Cover and chill for at least one hour.

As it chills, the marshmallows will get soft, absorbing the liquids and this is what makes it just melt in your mouth. It’s ready to serve after about an hour or so, but it’s even better if left in refrigerator overnight.

5 ingredients, 5 minutes, 1 bowl ~it doesn’t get much easier than that!

This can be made using other pie fillings. I’ve tried it with strawberry filling, but I very much prefer cherry. One of these days I’m going to try blueberry.

Doesn’t this look like a bowl full of deliciousness? It does to me!

  I’m glad you like it! I’ve never tried freezing it. I’m not sure that the marshmallows would hold up well if frozen and then thawed. I always have left overs and it keeps several days in the refrigerator. If it gets less solid than I like, I just add a little cool whip to it.
