Made this and it was a hit with the kids. Swapped out the cheesecake (could not find this) pudding for lemon pudding. We are trying it with peach pie filling & vanilla pudding next. Thank you for this recipe!

Love this recipe, I agree when it is so hot it's nice to have a great cool recipe to fix!! Gives me more time to read, just finished Susan Mallery's "Two of a Kind". Keep up the crock pot recipes. Love your blog it's the best!

Madge
What a fun recipe and so easy! I've pinned this and can't wait to try it!
Janice
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 -
Brandie @ The Country Cook
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!
Elizabeth
I love your recipes. You have the best recipes I have ever seen, especailly the poke cakes. I think I have made every one of them and they have all come out perfect. Now I'm going to make this delicious dessert for the 4th of July. Can't wait.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Thank you so very much Elizabeth! That makes my day to read. I sure do appreciate you takingthe time to leave such kind words!

add some blueberries for 4th of July

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!
Brandie @ The Country Cook
I think this would be fantastic as a dip. Serve with graham crackers or other type of cookie. Yum!

could this maybe be a dip? Maybe put it in the middle with some plain type cookies all around it? What do you think?
Pamela
I love whipped topping - I can just eat it by the spoonful! 🙂
Bev
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?
Brandie @ The Country Cook
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.
Marsha Baker
Well lookie here - you did good Honey Chile! A fabulous dish to add pineapple too. Thanks much for sharing the link back. YUUUUUMMM!!!

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.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
JMD - I know! These are the things I think about when the weather gets extreme. One of the best inventions ever - air conditioning! Ha!

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!!!
Brandie @ The Country Cook
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. 🙂
Faith Bell
Just wondered if you could substitute pie fillings for different flavours.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
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!!!
Shirlz
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.

I hate pineapple, anything else to substitute?
Gen
I use strawberries and i throw strawberry yogurts in as well.my family love's it!

looks ymmu!!! how many servings do you think you can get from this??
Brandie @ The Country Cook
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).

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

I've also made it with condensed milk and know it by the name of pink panther poop instead of cherry pie fluff lol.
Its soo good!!
