Ingredients
 

For the Chocolate Skillet Cake:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk or regular milk with a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice added
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup boiling water

For Serving:

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Chocolate sauce or hot fudge optional
  • Whipped cream optional
  • Cherries or berries for garnish, optional

Instructions

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.

Mix with Cherry Pie Filling:

  • Stir the cherry pie filling into the dissolved Jello. Make sure it's well incorporated.

Add Pineapple and Marshmallows:

  • Add the drained crushed pineapple and mini marshmallows to the mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.

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.

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.

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.
