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
- Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the well-drained crushed pineapple, cherry pie filling, and fat-free sweetened condensed milk. Stir these ingredients thoroughly until evenly mixed.
- Fold and chill: Gently fold the lite whipped topping into the fruit mixture until fully incorporated, taking care to maintain the fluffiness. Next, fold in the mini marshmallows and the optional chopped nuts if you are using them. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the pineapple is well drained to prevent excess liquid in the dessert.
- The nuts are optional but add a nice crunch and texture contrast.
- For a richer dessert, you may substitute regular sweetened condensed milk and whipped topping.
- Serve chilled for best flavor and consistency.
- This dessert can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
