Cherry Fluff is a creamy, fruity, and irresistibly fluffy no-bake dessert made with sweet cherries, whipped topping, marshmallows, and pineapple. This nostalgic dessert salad is perfect for holidays, potlucks, picnics, and family celebrations.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a 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 mini marshmallows.
  4. Stir in the chopped pecans or walnuts, shredded coconut, and maraschino cherries if using.
  5. Fold everything together gently until fully combined.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften.
  7. Stir gently before serving and garnish with additional cherries or chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

  • Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to prevent excess moisture.
  • Stabilized homemade whipped cream can be substituted for whipped topping.
  • For a richer version, replace the sweetened condensed milk with softened cream cheese mixed with a little powdered sugar.
  • Add mini marshmallows before chilling so they soften properly.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended because the texture may change after thawing.
