This retro gelatin salad is always welcome on our table.

But the holidays may be where fluffs like this cherry version or our classicCranberry Fluffreally shine.

The chew of the marshmallows and cherries is a pleasant addition to the ultra-creamy whipped topping and cream cheese.

Ingredients

1 (8 oz.)

package cream cheese, room temperature

1 (3 oz.)

box cherry gelatin (such as Jell-O)

1 (21 oz.)

can cherry pie filling

1 (8 oz.)

container frozen whipped topping, thawed

1 (10 oz.)

Add gelatin to cream cheese, and mix until well combined.

It can also prevent a cloud of gelatin billowing up from the bowl.

Fold in the cherry pie filling until thoroughly blended, then fold in the whipped topping.

This will also help keep your cherry fluff as fluffy as possible.

Fold in mini marshmallows until evenly distributed in the cherry fluff.

Refrigerate for at least a half hour before serving.
