How to Make Christmas Cherry Salad
- Bloom gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 (1 ounce) package of unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Combine with pie filling: Gently stir in 2 (15 ounce) cans cherry pie filling.
- Set the base: Pour the gelatin mixture into a greased 9x12 inch baking dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
- Prepare the topping: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 8 ounces cream cheese and 1 (10 ounce) package of marshmallows, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy.
- Cool and whip: Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Once cooled, gently fold in 1 (8 ounce) container of whipped topping.
- Combine and chill: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the set cherry gelatin layer.
- Set and serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the layers to set.
- Cut and enjoy: Cut into squares and serve chilled. Garnish with extra whipped cream or maraschino cherries (optional).
