How to Make Pink Cherry Jello Fluff Dessert

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3 ounces) cherry Jello
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
  • 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed (e.g., Cool Whip)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Dissolve the Jello:
    • In a large mixing bowl, completely dissolve the cherry Jello in 1 cup of boiling water. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
  2. Mix with Cherry Pie Filling:
    • Stir the cherry pie filling into the dissolved Jello. Make sure it’s well incorporated.
  3. Add Pineapple and Marshmallows:
    • Add the drained crushed pineapple and mini marshmallows to the mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping:
    • Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is uniform in color and no streaks remain. If using, stir in the chopped pecans or walnuts.
  5. Chill:
    • Pour the mixture into a serving dish or individual dessert cups. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. It’s best if left to chill overnight.
  6. Serve:
    • Once set, the Pink Cherry Jello Fluff is ready to serve. Garnish with additional whipped topping, maraschino cherries, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts before serving if desired.
