Ingredients:
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
- 1 container (8 ounces) cool whip, thawed
- 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions:
- Begin by finding yourself a large mixing bowl where all the ingredients will comfortably fit.
- Take the cherry pie filling and empty it into the bowl.
- Fold in the cool whip gently with the pie filling until they are well incorporated, being careful not to deflate the cool whip too much.
- Drain your can of crushed pineapple as thoroughly as possible; you want to minimize the amount of liquid so the salad doesn’t become runny. Add the drained pineapple to the bowl.
- Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and combine it with the other ingredients until you have a rich, cohesive mixture.
- Toss in the miniature marshmallows and stir them through the mixture so they’re evenly dispersed.
- If you’re using pecans, give them a rough chop and stir them in for some added crunch and nutty flavor.
- Once all the ingredients are mixed well together, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or better, overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften slightly.
- Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and scoop it into serving dishes. Top with more cherries (whole or chopped), if desired.
- Enjoy your indulgent Better Than Sex Fruit Salad as a delightful end to any meal or a sweet treat to savor during a gathering.
