Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or canned cherries, drained and pitted if fresh
  • 2 cups whipped cream (heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks)
  • 1 cup marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons water or milk (to melt marshmallows)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cherries: Drain any liquid from canned cherries or wash and pit fresh cherries. Set them aside to prevent excess moisture that could make the dessert watery.
  2. Whip the Cream: Using cold heavy cream and a mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form, creating a light, snowy texture essential to the dessert.
  3. Melt the Marshmallows: In a small saucepan over low heat, gently melt marshmallows with water or milk, stirring constantly to achieve a smooth consistency without burning.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Fold the melted marshmallows and sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream. Gently mix in the cherries and vanilla extract. If desired, add chopped nuts at this stage.
  5. Chill and Set: Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or individual cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up.

Notes

  • Use a cold mixing bowl and beaters for faster, fluffier whipped cream.
  • Drain cherries thoroughly to avoid soggy dessert.
  • Fold ingredients gently to keep whipped cream light and airy.
  • Adjust sweetness by tasting before chilling; add more condensed milk or vanilla if desired.
  • Chill the dessert for several hours or overnight for best flavor and texture.
