This Cherry Cheesecake Fluff Salad recipe takes only minutes to make, but is ALWAYS a crowd pleaser. A fun dessert for a summer BBQ party!<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Stressful times mean indulging the sweet tooth with some comfort food, and we\u2019ve been on a bit of a fruit fluff salad kick lately.<\/p>\n

While I have issues with this delicious dessert being referred to as a \u201csalad\u201d - or as a side dish! - these fluffy salads are a great no bake dessert option to make when a sweet craving hits. Very, very low effort, simple dessert.<\/p>\n

That said, they definitely tend to be a crowd favorite<\/p>\n

The one I was most familiar with, growing up, was Ambrosia salad - basically fruit salad with marshmallows and other stuff added.<\/p>\n

My husband was more about the Watergate Salad - AKA pistachio fluff salad.<\/p>\n

You can whip up an easy dessert salad in just minutes, and watch it disappear at a backyard BBQ, family gatherings, baby showers, or even holiday dinners. With the right choice of ingredients, you could whip one up that would even be perfect for Christmas dinner!<\/p><\/div>\n

So far, I\u2019ve only shared two of our fluff recipes - Banana Split Fluff Salad<\/a>, and Pina Colada Fluff Salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Each is an easy recipe that turns out a delicious dessert with very little effort.<\/p>\n

Today, I\u2019m sharing our cherry cheesecake fluff recipe.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great recipe - just a few ingredients, maybe 5 minutes of work... and it really does taste like cherry cheesecake!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first time I worked cream cheese into a fluff salad recipe, we\u2019ll definitely be playing around more with that idea in the future.<\/p>\n

Anyway, enough rambling, let\u2019s look at what you\u2019ll need to have for your own cherry fluff salad!<\/p><\/div>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n

This recipe uses really simple ingredients, you shouldn\u2019t have any trouble finding what you need in any grocery store.<\/p>\n

A few ingredient notes for you:<\/p>\n

Cool Whip<\/h4>\n

I always use plain Cool Whip frozen whipped topping, just thawed a bit in the fridge before using. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the USA, you\u2019ll use the 8 oz container, if you\u2019re in Canada it\u2019s the 1 L container.<\/p>\n

Theoretically, you could use Stabilized Whipped Cream<\/a>, but - to be honest - whenever I\u2019m in the mood to throw together a dessert salad, I\u2019m usually in too lazy of a mood to bother!<\/p>\n

Milk<\/h4>\n

Use whatever kind of milk you like. We usually end up using unsweetened almond milk, as it\u2019s what we have on hand.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Instant Pudding<\/h4>\n

First off, be sure you\u2019re actually using a small box of instant pudding mix - NOT the \u201ccook and serve\u201d type,<\/p>\n

I generally use instant vanilla pudding mix, as it\u2019s what we have easy access to.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re able to get your hands on some of the Cheesecake Instant Pudding Mix, use that!<\/p>\n

Pie Filling<\/h4>\n

As a cherry cheesecake fluff, obviously you\u2019re going to want to use cherry pie filling here.<\/p>\n

That said, why stop at cherry? Blueberry pie filling would make a fantastic blueberry cheesecake fluff salad! Go with what you like!<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Everything Else<\/h4>\n

Rounding out this recipe, you will need:<\/p>\n

Miniature Marshmallows
\nCream Cheese
\nLemon Juice
\nSalt<\/p>\n

... nothing else to add, here. Like I said - very simple recipe!<\/p><\/div>\n
