Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sweetened condensed milk, cherry pie filling, Cool Whip, drained pineapple tidbits, and chopped pecans in a large bowl.
- Chill in the refrigerator for one hour.
- Sprinkle with coconut and miniature marshmallows before serving if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, ensure your Cool Whip is fully thawed before mixing. If you want a fruity twist, try substituting the cherry pie filling with raspberry or blueberry filling. You can also add shredded coconut for extra texture, or mix in chopped fruit like strawberries for a fresher taste. This dessert is perfect for gatherings, similar to how Strawberry Loaf Bread is often enjoyed.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful dessert chilled, garnished with additional chopped pecans or a sprinkle of coconut for added flavor and crunch. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or alongside a slice of Spicy Carrot Cake for a varied dessert spread. This dish is also a hit at potlucks and summer barbecues, making it a versatile choice.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best enjoyed chilled, so there's no need to reheat—just give it a good stir before serving to regain its creamy consistency. If you plan to keep it longer, consider freezing it, though the texture may change upon thawing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dessert ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare this dessert a day in advance. Just follow the recipe and let it chill in the refrigerator overnight. This not only saves time on the day of serving but also allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the overall taste.
What can I use instead of pecans?
If you have nut allergies or prefer a different flavor, you can substitute pecans with chopped walnuts or almonds. For a nut-free version, you could simply omit the nuts altogether or use sunflower seeds for a similar crunch without the allergens.
