Keep your cherry fluff salad in the fridge in a sealed container. It stays good for about 4-5 days. Just stir it before serving if it separates.
Can I Freeze Cherry Fluff Salad?
Yes! I love eating it frozen—it’s almost like ice cream! Just pop it in an airtight container and freeze for up to three months.
Can I Use Fresh Cherries Instead of Pie Filling?
It’s best to stick with pie filling for that gooey texture and flavor. Fresh cherries won’t give you the same yummy result.
Can I Make Cherry Fluff Salad Without Condensed Milk?
You can skip the condensed milk if you want. It won’t be as sweet, but with cherry pie filling and Cool Whip, it’ll still be plenty tasty.
