The star ingredient is, of course, the cherries. I use a can of cherry pie filling versus fresh cherries here.

Supporting ingredients include walnuts (love their crunch!), pineapple chunks, mini marshmallows and Cool Whip. It also uses a can of sweetened condensed milk.

You can make your own stabilized whipped cream if you can’t find Cool Whip.

If you aren’t a big fan of either the pineapple or walnuts, leave them out. You could also substitute other nuts or fruit in their place if you like.
