Cherry Jello Salad

Recipe From: Laura Watson

Here's a family favorite enjoyed by all.  A yummee cherry jello salad topped with a decadent creamy cheesecake topping.  
This cherry jello salad was made for a picnic lunch for Logans birthday party.  Then later that week, it was served at Skylees birthday party.   mmmm...... perhaps it may just have to become a birthday tradition.  💓

When I made this, I used 42 oz ( 2 cans) of cherry pie filling, scooping out a majority of the 'filler/gel'.  By doin' this, it packed in extra sweet cherries for a more savory bite.  





INGREDIENTS
1 6 oz pkg cherry jello
1 large can crushed pineapple, do not drain
1 can Cherry Pie Filling
1 3 oz pkg instant cheesecake pudding
1 cup milk
2 cups Cool Whip or Heavy Whipping Cream

Combine cherry gelatin with 2 cups of boiling water. OMIT 2 cups cold
water as directed on the package. Add crushed pineapple with juice and cherry pie filling.
Pour into 9x13 pan.  Chill.

Topping:
Combine pudding with 1 cup milk and beat. Let set for 1-2 minutes until slightly thick.
Add Cool Whip and mix well.
Spread on top of the chilled cherry jello.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
