Fruity Recipe Ahead
Fluffy Pink Fruit Salad
1 jar (10 0z) maraschino cherries
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped (I used Light Cool-whip since I was trying to save some calories)
1 can (20 oz) pineapple tidbits, drained
1 can (15 1/4 oz) fruit cocktail, drained
1 can (15 oz) sliced peached, drained and diced
6 medium firm bananas, sliced
3 cups pastel miniature marshmallows
Drain cherries, reserving 1/3 cup juice (save the remaining juice for another use). cut cherries in half; set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and reserved cherry juice until smooth. Fold in whipped cream. Fold in cherries, pineapples, fruit cocktail, peaches, bananas and marshmallows. Transfer to a serving bowl. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Yield: 18-22 servings. Woohoo!
