Equipment You’ll Need:
Mixing bowls
Whisk or spoon
Plastic wrap
Spatula
Ingredients:
- 1 package (3 oz) cherry Jell-O
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup shredded coconut (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries, drained (optional)
Instructions:
- Dissolve the Jell-O:
In a large bowl, whisk the cherry Jell-O into the boiling water until fully dissolved (about 2 minutes). Stir in the cold water. - Add pineapple:
Stir in the crushed pineapple, juice and all. The pineapple juice adds extra flavor and helps the Jell-O set. - Mix in condensed milk:
Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and stir until smooth and creamy. - Chill to thicken:
Cover and refrigerate the mixture for 1-2 hours, or until it starts to thicken but hasn’t fully set. - Fold in the fluff:
Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined, being careful to keep the mixture light and airy. - Add mix-ins:
Stir in the mini marshmallows, and if using, the coconut and maraschino cherries. - Final chill:
Cover again and refrigerate for another 1-2 hours until fully chilled and set.
Extra Tips & Variations:
- Try swapping the cherry Jell-O for strawberry, raspberry, or orange for fun flavor twists.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts for a little crunch.
- Serve as a pie filling in a graham cracker crust for a no-bake dessert.
