Ingredients:
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (Eagle Brand)
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 package (1 oz) vanilla pudding mix (dry)
- 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry pie filling, crushed pineapple, sweetened condensed milk, miniature marshmallows, and dry vanilla pudding mix. Stir until well combined.
- Gently fold in the Cool Whip until evenly incorporated into the mixture.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate the salad overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to set.
- Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir to ensure everything is well combined.
Recipe Tips:
- For a slightly less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of cherry pie filling or omit the additional sugar in the recipe.
- You can also experiment with using different flavors of pudding mix or adding nuts or shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.
