Ingredients

Servings

  • 8 ounces whipped topping (I used Cool Whip) thawed until it's easily spreadable

  • 1 cup Maraschino cherries drained

Instructions

  1. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to a large bowl and combine until smooth. Gently stir in the Cool Whip.
  2. Fold in the remaining ingredients (I used a spatula). You can eat it right away, but I recommend covering the bowl and chilling it for a few hours first to help the flavors meld.

Notes

  • Container sizes of the canned fruit and cherries can vary, so you don't have to be exact. Feel free to add more/less of any ingredient than suggested.
