This is a great summer dessert! I lightened it up a bit by using light cherry pie filling, light whipped cream, low-fat sweetened condensed milk & 1/2 cup chopped pecans. This dessert tastes great as a frozen treat too; just pop it in the freezer & scoop it out when ready!

Yikes,talk about SWEET! Everyone loved it, but me. Just too sweet for my own personal preference. I put in two cans of crushed pineapple, drained, some mandarin oranges, and a cup of finely chopped nuts in an effort to tone down the sweetness. I don't think it worked.Thanks Shannon.

Whew!! This is sweet!! But delicious nonetheless. I made this and left it in the fridge to blend the flavors. The flavor of the pineapple was hidden somewhere in the mixture. To reduce the sweetness, you could use real whipped cream instead of the whipped topping. There is another version of this recipe I came across...(cherry fluff, maybe..), that doesn't call for nuts. I prefer mine with nuts...it gives the "stuff" some texture. Thanks Shannon.

It is "to die" for. What a beautiful, easy dessert. My husband, father, and I absolutely loved it. Next time I am going to try it with all "light" ingredients.

Very YUMMY! The kids couldn't get enough of the salad. My mom used to make one just like this one, but she added miniature marsmallows to it. I added about 1 cup of marsmallows to the mixture and then a few sprinkled on top for looks. Very GOOD!

It was pretty good - made way too much though. I'd cut the recipe in half.

I looked at this recipe and saw the reviews so I tried it and it was a hit. I even doubled the recipe, and it was gone.I will make it again for Christmas. This time on the other side if the family (inlaws) since my family liked it.

This recipe is great! I've had my kids (4 of them), make it for holidays for a number of years. One year, one of them put it in the freezer instead of the fridge to wait for our meal. When we discovered it was frozen solid, we decided to slice it into cubes and serve it in it's solid form. It softened, and tasted as good as always.

This recipe is WONDERFUL!! But instead of cherry pie filling, I used strawberry pie filling and pecan pieces as opposed to chopped pecans. It was a huge hit!!!
