Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 20-ounce can crushed pineapple, drained well
  • 1 21-ounce can cherry pie filling
  • 1 14-ounce can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
  • 12 ounces lite whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, cherry pie filling, and fat-free sweetened condensed milk. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture is consistent.
  2. Fold and chill: Gently fold in the lite whipped topping to maintain its airy texture without deflating it. Then, fold in the mini marshmallows and, if using, the chopped pecans or walnuts. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

Notes

  • For best texture, ensure the whipped topping is thawed and cold before folding it in.
  • You can substitute pecans or walnuts with your favorite nuts or omit them entirely for a nut-free version.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and enjoyed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
  • Cover well while refrigerating to prevent absorption of other fridge odors.
