Description
This Cherry Coke Jello is a fun, easy dessert that brings vintage flavor to the table with hardly any effort. With sweet cherry gelatin, Coca-Cola, pineapple, and a fluffy whipped topping, it is a chilled treat that works beautifully for potlucks, holiday menus, summer gatherings, and easy dessert nights at home. I love this as a quick dessert, easy recipe, and one of my favorite food ideas when I need something simple, colorful, and crowd-pleasing. It is perfect for dessert tables, make-ahead party planning, and holiday food ideas when I want a no-bake option that still feels special.
Ingredients
1 package cherry gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 cup Coca-Cola
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1 can cherry pie filling
1 container whipped topping, thawed
6 maraschino cherries
Instructions
1. Add the cherry gelatin to a mixing bowl and pour in the boiling water. Whisk until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
2. Let the mixture cool slightly, then stir in the Coca-Cola gently until combined.
3. Mix in the drained crushed pineapple and cherry pie filling.
4. Pour the mixture into a glass serving dish or trifle bowl.
5. Refrigerate for 4 hours, or until fully set.
6. Spread the whipped topping evenly over the chilled jello layer.
7. Garnish with maraschino cherries before serving.
Notes
Be sure the pineapple is well drained before adding it, or the gelatin may not set as firmly as it should.
