This creamy cherry fluff salad is a sweet, no-bake dessert made with Cool Whip, marshmallows, and juicy fruit for that classic pink salad everyone remembers. It’s the kind of old-fashioned recipe Grandma made for holidays, potlucks, and Sunday dinners.
Combine the cherry pie filling, crushed pineapple, sweetened condensed milk, and shredded coconut in a large mixing bowl.
Fold in the Cool Whip and mix until evenly blended.
Add marshmallows and fold in until evenly distributed.
Cover and store in the fridge for a minimum of one hour to overnight, until ready to serve.
Notes
Cherry fluff salad tastes better when allowed to rest overnight, so make it ahead if you have time. Be sure to cover it with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid so it doesn’t dry out. Store for up to a week in the fridge. Do not freeze.After sitting, you’ll want to fold it over a few times, to redistribute the moisture that has usually separated out.
