Description
A creamy, fruity, pink-hued no-bake dessert that comes together in minutes, perfect for potlucks, family gatherings, or a quick sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can cherry pie filling (about 21 oz)
- 1 can crushed pineapple, drained (about 20 oz)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (about 14 oz)
- 1 container whipped topping (about 8 oz, store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- Optional garnishes: maraschino cherries, shredded coconut, chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry pie filling, crushed pineapple, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until evenly combined.
- Gently fold the whipped topping into the mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix to keep it light and airy.
- Stir in the mini marshmallows until evenly distributed. Add any optional mix-ins like nuts or coconut at this stage.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and achieve the desired texture.
- Spoon the cherry fluff into a serving dish or individual cups. Garnish with maraschino cherries or your favorite toppings before serving.
Notes
Ensure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to avoid a watery texture. Chill the dessert for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best flavor and consistency. Adjust sweetness by modifying the proportions of cherry pie filling or pineapple.
