Cherry Salad Recipe (Pink Fluff)
Description
The Cherry Salad Recipe (Pink Fluff) combines cherry pie filling, sweetened condensed milk, and well-drained crushed pineapple with whipped topping and mini marshmallows that soften into the mixture when chilled. Chopped pecans can be added for a crunchy contrast. The result is a fluffy, creamy salad with sweet fruit flavors and a light texture. The recipe requires at least an hour of refrigeration to allow the marshmallows to soften and the flavors to meld.
This salad pairs well as a refreshing side dish or dessert, adding a sweet note to meals. The mix of moist fruit, creamy whipped topping, and chewy marshmallows creates a soft, sweet treat with subtle nutty texture if pecans are used.
The recipe notes suggest substituting pineapple chunks for a chunkier texture and mandarin oranges if pineapple is not preferred. Chilling enhances flavor depth. Garnishing with whipped cream and fresh cherries can improve presentation for serving.
Ingredients
- 1 can cherry pie filling 21 oz
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz
- 1 can crushed pineapple drained well, 20 oz
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 container whipped topping thawed, 8 oz
- 1 cup pecans chopped roughly, optional
Instructions
- Roughly chop the pecans. Drain the pineapple juice from the crushed pinapple.
- In a large bowl, stir together cherry pie filling, sweetened condensed milk and pineapple.
- Fold in the marshmallows, whipped topping and pecans.
- Cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Overnight is fine. The dish will keep, refrigerated, for 2-3 days.
Notes
- Mini marshmallows and nuts are optional and can be omitted based on preference.
- Use crushed pineapple drained thoroughly; pineapple chunks can be a substitute for more texture.
- Mandarin oranges can replace pineapple if desired for different fruit flavor.
- Chill the salad at least one hour, or overnight, to soften marshmallows and meld flavors.
- Garnish with whipped cream and fresh cherries for an appealing presentation.
