How to Make Emily's Frozen Bing Cherry Salad

  1. Drain 2 (15 ounce) cans of bing cherries and add 2-3 drops of red food coloring (optional, for a deeper color). Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 cup of sour cream, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Beat until well combined. Add the red food coloring if desired.
  4. Gently fold in the drained cherries, ½ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts, and 1 cup of mini marshmallows.
  5. Spray an 8x8 inch Pyrex dish with cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and freeze for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. Remove from freezer 30 minutes before serving to allow for easier slicing. Cut into squares and enjoy!
