CHERRY 7UP FLUFF

This Cherry 7Up Fluff is a delicious no-bake dessert made with maraschino cherries, mandarin oranges, Cool Whip, marshmallows and cherry 7Up, cream cheese and jello. I love a good fluff salad! I pretty much keep one of these in my fridge at all times in the summer. I make so many different flavors that it never gets old: PISTACHIO FLUFF, PINEAPPLE FLUFF, AMBROSIA SALAD, MANDARIN ORANGE FLUFF and ORANGE CREAMSICLE FRUIT SALAD. Cherry 7Up Fluff recipe made with cherry Jell-O, mandarin oranges, COOL WHIP, maraschino cherries, marshmallows and cream cheese

WHAT OTHER FRUIT CAN I USE BESIDES BANANAS?

So, when CHERRY AND SPICE shared her recipe with us at Weekend Potluck, I knew I had to give it a try. I love that she put bananas in it. You don’t normally see that in these fluff salads. I love to add it for a twist of flavor to my ORANGE CREAMSICLE FRUIT SALAD. Of course, if you aren’t a fan of bananas, you can leave them out or substitute with diced pineapples, sliced grapes or diced peaches. Whatever your family loves. This is totally easy to tailor. You can even use regular-flavored 7-Up and a lemon or pineapple Jell-O to switch up the flavors!Cherry 7Up Fluff recipe from The Country Cook

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
marshmallows
cherry 7-Up
cream cheese
cherry gelatin mix (JELL-O)
fresh lime juice
maraschino cherries
mandarin oranges
bananas
whipped topping (COOL WHIP)

HOW TO MAKE CHERRY 7UP FLUFF:

In a sauce pan over medium heat, combine marshmallows and cherry 7-Up. Whisk together frequently until melted. Remove from heat.

In a separate large bowl, using an electric mixer, combine cream cheese, cherry gelatin mix and lime juice until smooth.

Slowly stir in marshmallow/7-Up mixture to cream cheese mixture until combined well.

Finally, gently stir in drained maraschino cherries, drained mandarin oranges and sliced bananas (slice the bananas just before adding so they don’t turn brown).

Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) until set.

Before serving, stir in whipped topping.

Optional: garnish servings with a lime twist and a maraschino cherry.

    Hi. That does sound very good but i wondered why you didn’t dissolve the jello in the hot soda before adding the marshmallows. How does the jello dissolve. It says on the box to dissolve it in boiling liquid.
