Stir in the drained crushed pineapple, halved sweet cherries, and mini marshmallows until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch dish or a large serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, slice into squares or scoop into individual servings. Optionally, top with a dollop of whipped topping before serving for added creaminess.
Serve cold and enjoy the fizzy, fruity flavors of this unique Cherry Pepsi Salad!
