You just combine all 6 ingredients into a large mixing bowl! We recommend starting with the whipped cream and then the cherry pie filling. Then everything else.

You’ll want to stir until everything is mixed through.

You can serve it immediately or cover it and place in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.

Tips for Your Cherry Delight Fluff Salad

If you don’t serve the salad immediately, we suggest covering it with plastic wrap to keep it from drying out.
This recipe lasts 5-7 days in the fridge. Do not freeze.
If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge.
It is common for the moisture of fluff recipes to come to the top after a couple of days, just stir and enjoy.

Variations of the Grandma’s No Bake Cherry Fluff Salad Recipe

You may find other recipes use maraschino cherries in the recipe. We love the pie filling instead because it’s thicker and more rich. We topped ours with some of the maraschino tart cherries instead!

Other recipes also call for sour cream or cottage cheese, but we prefer to use whipped cream and sweetened condense milk for a richer flavor and creamy texture.

You could also add in mandarin oranges, fruit cocktail, chopped pecans or nuts to this cherry dump salad recipe.

We hope you love this no-bake dessert! It’s one of our favorite easy recipes and always a family favorite side dish for a pot luck. It’s perfect on a hot summer night, too!

We’d love to see your cherry fluff dessert salad at your family gatherings or next special occasion!
