Five Minute Cherry Fluff
This has become one of my favorite desserts! It only takes five minutes to make this Cherry Fluff and anyone can make it, it’s that easy. It is wonderful for family functions, social gatherings or just a family dessert. You will want to save this one.

In a large bowl add Cool Whip. Place the cherry pie filling in next and then the drained pineapple.
Add the sweetened condensed milk, coconut (optional) and miniature marshmallows.
Toss making sure it is combined well.
This can be served immediately but it is much better after a few hours or overnight, covered, in the refrigerator. It will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for about a week.

This last few days have been up ladders to collect 12 buckets full of black cherries ripe from our orchard trees .Not a year good for apples .Pears good ,but cherry, best year in 5 so far for fruit
I’m so envious! Will you freeze them, can them or what? Too many to eat! I ordered 10# of sour cherries from a local farm market as my trees died quite a few years ago. They won’t be ready to purchase until the end of July.
Cherry Fluff … never heard of this before! But the further I read (and seeing your photos), the more I know that this is definitely a recipe to save – yummy 😋.
It is very good Corna! Thank you!
Looks yum. You had me at condensed milk!
Thank you Ab!
This salad is a big hit at our house!
I understand why. I never expected my husband to like it and he has eaten as much as I have!
I actually had this waaaay back in grammar school as part of the school lunch. It was good then, and I am pretty sure it is now.
My mom always made something similar to this but not with the pie filing and it has cream cheese in it. I always love that and this was as good if not better. Next time I think I will add the cream cheese too.
Oh, this is a nice flashback for me Diane as mom made this and other variations of it like ambrosia salad.
Me too Linda in fact this is another one my mom makes. https://indianeskitchen.com/2019/04/17/heavenly-hash-2/
I wonder why I never commented on that post Diane? I was not able to comment on it now but I must have missed it in Reader. My mom made something similar with sour cream, not whipping cream, and chopped cabbage. She used to chop up the cabbage until I convinced her to we could use a bag mix. So it was a tangy way to eat coleslow and we only had it at the holidays. I saved the Heavenly Hash recipe for the holidays. Don’t need the stove for it! 🙂
Oh I agree with you, the bagged shredded cabbage is the way to go. You can also substitute the heavy cream for the Cool Whip in the heavenly hash.
My grandmother was big on making coleslaw from scratch. As a kid I remember who wrestling with a big head of cabbage and a knife that looked lethal. Like me, she was not really a cook but could fix pot roast every Sunday. That would be tastier and richer – you’ve given me some nice ideas Diane … who needs a first course, when you can just have two desserts?
Oh – I am definitely making this!!
I tasted so good GP. My mom had some today and she loved it too.
Perfect for summer parties! Thank you!
It sure is Nancy and so easy to make, thank you!
I think the cream cheese would make a good addition too. It would taste good and make this into a healthy (OK, healthier🤣) dessert. If you do that, I would be interested in your proportions. It really does sound easy and delicious!
I actually used sugar free cherry pie filling. I would use 8 oz. of cream cheese. Here is the other recipe that is similar that my mom makes. https://indianeskitchen.com/2019/04/17/heavenly-hash-2/ It uses heavy cream instead of Cool Whip and is as good!
Yummy!
Thank you Karla!
Anything with miniature marshmallows I’m all in! Hugs, C
They help with a quick sweet craving fix too! Lol
OMG, this is so inventive!
Thank you Betsy
Oh, girl… You had me at sweetened condensed milk! Thank you for sharing this great recipe.
You’re welcome Kellye, it tasted amazing. I even used sugar free pie filling and you couldn’t even tell with all the other sweetness. I didn’t use it on purpose though, my husband does the grocery shopping and bought the wrong thing. 🤣

Thank you so much! I just picked up 10# of cherries and froze them. This recipe was so delicious.
