Categories     Side

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (I used fat free, but any type will work)
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, well drained
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (I used Sugar Free Cool Whip, but any similar variety will work), thawed

Steps:

  • Make sure that your whipped topping is completely thawed (by placing it in the refrigerator overnight). Also make sure that your pineapple is very well drained. I like to put the pineapple in a mesh colander and then squeeze it dry with a towel.
  • In a large bowl, stir together condensed milk, cherry pie filling, and drained crushed pineapple. Gently fold in the whipped topping just until combined.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
