Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 1 cup Cherry pie filling
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 2 cups Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip, thawed)
- 1 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple and cherry pie filling. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
Fold in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated.
Add the mini marshmallows and gently mix to ensure they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Gently fold in the whipped topping, being careful not to deflate it. Mix until the salad is a uniform pink color.
If using, stir in the chopped pecans for added texture and crunch.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften.
Serve chilled as a side dish or dessert. Garnish with additional whipped topping or a sprinkle of pecans if desired.
