Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • whisk or wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 21 ounces Cherry Pie Filling
  • 20 ounces Crushed Pineapple drained
  • 8 ounces whipped topping
  • 7 ounces Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 ½ cups Mini Marshmallows
  • 1 cup Sweetened Shredded Coconut

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, starting with the whipped cream followed by the cherry pie filling.
  • Mix well and serve immediately, or cover and store in the fridge until it’s ready to be served.

Notes

  • This recipe has quite a few variations it’s obtained over the many years it’s been around. Some people like to use maraschino cherries instead of pie filling.
  • Other add-ins often include sour cream, cottage cheese, chopped pecans, etc.
  • Be sure to cover your salad with plastic wrap when storing in the fridge so it doesn’t dry out. Store for up to a week.
  • Do not freeze.
  • When storing it in the fridge, you’ll want to give it a good fold over a few times, just to distribute the moisture that has usually gone to the top.
  • After being stored a few days, the marshmallows will absorb the liquid and soften, so don’t be alarmed if this happens. It’s normal and actually results in a bolder flavor, in my opinion.
