Sweet, fruity, and delightfully fluffy!

 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:

1.  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.
2.  Add pineapple:
   Stir in the crushed pineapple, juice and all. The pineapple juice adds extra flavor and helps the Jell-O set.
3.  Mix in condensed milk:
   Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and stir until smooth and creamy.
4.  Chill to thicken:
   Cover and refrigerate the mixture for 1-2 hours, or until it starts to thicken but hasn’t fully set.
5.  Fold in the fluff:
   Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined, being careful to keep the mixture light and airy.
6.  Add mix-ins:
   Stir in the mini marshmallows, and if using, the coconut and maraschino cherries.
7.  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.
