How lond does it take to make Cherry Fruit Fluff?
5 minutes. That's all it takes to make this tasty treat! I love that there are so many different variations of the dish. There are so many healthy add-ins you can make this a different dessert every time you make it.
Cherry Fruit Fluff tastes best after being refrigerated for a day. The flavors have time to meld and come together as one, which makes it a really special treat. The more you store this salad, the better it gets. It's best after being stored for at least 24 hours but can last up to 7 days in your fridge!
- This recipe has quite a few variations it’s obtained over the many years it’s been around. Some people like to use maraschino cherries instead of pie filling. Other add-ins often include sour cream, cottage cheese, chopped pecans, etc.
- Be sure to cover your salad with plastic wrap when storing in the fridge so it doesn’t dry out. Store for up to a week. Do not freeze.
- When storing it in the fridge, you’ll want to give it a good fold over a few times, just to distribute the moisture that has usually gone to the top.
- After being stored a few days, the marshmallows will absorb the liquid and soften, so don’t be alarmed if this happens. It’s normal and actually results in a bolder flavor, in my opinion.
If you want to make the best of this delicious recipe, experiment with ingredients one at a time so that each flavor can be enjoyed. You are sure to find a favorite and maybe a runner-up as well.
