Is it hot in here or is it just me?
Dadgum, we are in the heat of summer now! Walking outside is liking walking into a sauna. Well, at least it is here in my part of the world. Thank goodness we are blessed with air conditioning. Makes you wonder how those fancy ladies back in the 19th century handled summer with all those layers of petticoats and dresses they wore.
And we all know there was no deodorant back then either. I think they tried to cover up the funk with perfume. That must have been the stinkiest time to live in. It all sounds romantic in books but you know that had to be one smelly time in our country’s history!
Cherry Pie Fluff
And now, I have to transition from stinky, sweaty historical folks into this Cherry Pie Fluff. I bet those hot, stinky Colonials wished this Cherry Pie Fluff was around back then because it sure is cool and refreshing. (How was that transition??) With only 4 Ingredients and no baking involved, it is the perfect summertime treat.
Ingredients:1 (15.5 oz.) crushed pineapple, undrained
1 (3.4 oz.) box cheesecake Jell-O pudding mix
1 (21 oz.) can cherry pie filling
1 (8 oz.) tub whipped topping, thawed
Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine undrained pineapple with dry cheesecake pudding mix.
Stir well until combined.
Stir in can of cherry pie filling.
Small hands do well with this job. My Alex is a superstar stirrer.
Looks good already, huh? But there’s one more step!
Gently stir in whipped topping.
If you like, you can always add in a few chopped walnuts or pecans.
You can serve this right away. Just make sure you cover and store leftovers in the fridge.
Note: Want to make this more “figure-friendly?” Just substitute ingredients for their low/no sugar counterparts!

Trying this for Christmas Eve. We LOVE cherries! Any idea how long it will keep? Can I make it in the morning for a 5:30 dinner?
Lynn says
I have made this with cherries in a jar drained and fruit cocktail drained, with nuts and coolwhip. Instead of pie filling and pudding.

Will the filling hold up if I were to put in graham cracker crust?

Is there a way to make this without pineapple? I used to love this but have developed an allergy to pineapple. 🙁

I bet if you froze this and then cut it into squares it would be great too.

I'm always looking for low carb or sugar free recipes for my hubby's type 2 diabetes. I used sugar free cheesecake pudding mix, no sugar added cherry pie filling, lite whipped topping, and no sugar added canned peaches cut into small pieces plus a few chopped walnuts. It worked! He is a happy camper. P.S. pineapple is one of the highest carbohydrate fruits so I generally avoid it.

How about putting it in a graham cracker crust and making it Cherry Fluff Pie?
