Cherry Pie Fluff

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.
Cherry Pie Fluff
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.
Cherry Pie Fluff 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
COOL WHIP, cheesecake jello, cherry pie filling, crushed pineapple in juice
 Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine undrained pineapple with dry cheesecake pudding mix.
Cherry Pie Fluff
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!
Cherry Pie Fluff
Gently stir in whipped topping.
No Bake Cherry Pie Fluff
 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.

    Can't wait to try this, I used to make something similar with sweetened condensed milk in it. But needed something that was more diabetic friendly. Planning on making this using sugar-free products. Thanks for all your recipes. Love the POKE Cakes.

      Exactly! Most of these ingredients can be found in a low/no sugar version. Perfect little dessert for that sweet tooth!

      I don't serve very large servings for this because it is a sweet dessert. So I would think at least 8-10 (probably a couple more).

    Just wondered if you could substitute pie fillings for different flavours.

    • Brandie says

      June 26, 2013 at 1:49 pm

      Faith, you sure can. I think the Strawberry Filling is probably the sweetest of all the fillings. So make sure you keep the crushed pineapple and juices in there because it helps keep this dish from being uber-sweet. If you switch out fillings and still find it too sweet, then just add a bit of lemon juice to help balance it out.

      I was going to ask the same thing. I hate cherries so I would have to use something different. Maybe peach or apple…yum lol. I wonder if the pineapple could stand alone…I adore pineapple!!!

        Use pistachio pudding instead of cherry pie filling and cheesecake pudding. You can add chopped nuts and/or chopped cherries. I have used many different puddings and fruit.

    Hi I'm from Canada and we don't have cheesecake pudding mix up here so could I use Vanilla pudding mix in its place? Would love to make this for my family this weekend coming is our Canada day weekend…actually its on Monday July 1st. Thanks and have a great day!!! Love all your recipes that you post,I pass them along!!!

      Hi! What part of Canada are you in? I have a couple of friends in Ontario and Quebec that are able to get it at Wal-Mart. You could certainly use Vanilla. You just have to be careful about this dish becoming too sweet. If it does turn out too sweet for you, you can always add a touch of lemon juice to balance it out. 🙂

    I live in Arizona and as I type we are in a Southwest heatwave. Wearing sleeveless top, capris and flip flops and sweating unabashedly. For the life of me I cannot imagine living here in this heat without air conditioning. How could they cook in this type of heat? Makes me hotter than I am to think about it.

    Thanks for the cool recipe, will make it. Keep crockpot recipes coming.

    I have crushed Dole crushed pineapple, but it's a 20 ounce can. Can I use all of this or do I have to take part of it out?

      Hi Bev! I've only ever made this with the smaller can. You could use the larger can, it might just turn out a bit softer. Or perhaps just use maybe about 2/3rds of it. You need some of the juice and fruit so the Jell-O pudding has something to dissolve into.

    This is similar to what we call Cherries in the Snow. The only thing different would be no pudding mix but instead use a can of eagle brand milk. Soooo good, but I'm sure your recipe is equally as good! Thanks for sharing!

    Oh My – I don't like Pineapple. Would that ruin the entire recipe as you lose the liquid? (I love Cherries, pudding & Cool Whip)

    Thanks much –

      Hi Janice, you really need that liquid in this to make it work. You could use just the pineapple juice in this and leave out the pineapple itself. I like that the pineapple juice keeps this recipe from being overly sweet. You don't really taste the pineapple flavor at all but it helps the overall sweetness. Some people like to add sweetened condensed milk to this recipe, but personally I just find that far too sweet a mixture. I hope that helps!

    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.
