Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Pink Angel Salad ahead of time?

What can I substitute for cherry pie filling?
If you don't have cherry pie filling, you can use other fruit fillings, such as blueberry or raspberry. Alternatively, fresh or frozen cherries can be cooked down with sugar and cornstarch to create a homemade filling. This allows for customization based on your taste preferences.
Is this salad suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, Pink Angel Salad is vegetarian-friendly as it contains no meat products. For a vegan version, you can substitute the Eagle Brand milk with a plant-based alternative, such as coconut or almond milk, ensuring all other ingredients are also vegan.
