Big Batch Pineapple Cherry Fluff is a creamy, fruity, and crowd-pleasing no-bake dessert made with pineapple, cherry pie filling, whipped topping, and marshmallows. Perfect for holidays, potlucks, family reunions, and large gatherings, it’s an easy make-ahead favorite.

Ingredients

  • Cherry pie filling
  • Crushed pineapple, well-drained
  • Whipped topping, thawed
  • Sweetened condensed milk
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Maraschino cherries, drained and halved
  • Sweetened shredded coconut
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • Vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a very large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and whipped topping until smooth.
  2. Gently fold in the cherry pie filling until evenly distributed.
  3. Add the well-drained crushed pineapple and maraschino cherries.
  4. Stir in the mini marshmallows and shredded coconut.
  5. Fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts if using.
  6. Mix everything gently until well combined, taking care not to crush the fruit.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for 2–4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to blend and the marshmallows to soften.
  8. Stir gently before serving and garnish with extra cherries, pineapple, coconut, or chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

  • Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to prevent the dessert from becoming watery.
  • Stabilized homemade whipped cream can be substituted for whipped topping.
  • For a richer version, blend softened cream cheese into the mixture.
  • Add bananas just before serving to prevent browning.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended because the texture may change after thawing.
