This cherry cola jello salad recipe is the best jello gelatin salad recipe. It will steal the show! Five ingredients: cherry flavored gelatin, cherry pie filling, cola, water and pineapple. It’s a hit!
We attended a pot-luck and one of our good friends made a salad very similar to this one. I asked her for the recipe and wrote it down but could never find it in all my notes. So, I came up with this one and it’s a requested recipe in my home.
Making this recipe for any occasion or no occasion at all. It will be a hit with any dish. It’s so good there are usually never any leftovers.
My husband once ate the entire bowl within three days. No lie! LOL It’s really good!

The amazing thing about this jello salad recipe is how flexible it can be with the flavored ingredients. That’s right, I’m talking about the jello and cola.

Whatever flavors you choose to use when making this Jell-O salad use at least one package of cherry or black cherry. See recommended flavor options below.

Cola Flavors To Choose
Another flavor that can be flexible with this jello salad recipe is the cola. Below are a few choices that could always be options when making this recipe.

The Best Jello Salad Recipe
Ingredients:
- 20 ounce can crushed pineapple (drained with juices reserved)
- 6 ounces jello gelatin (3 ounce cherry and 3 ounce black cherry)
- 1/2 cup water
- 20 ounce can cherry pie filling
- 3/4 cup cola
Directions:
In a medium sauce pan bring water and pineapple juice to a low boil.
Remove from heat and add jello gelatin powder stirring until completely dissolved.
Add cherry pie filling and stir to combine. Then and cola and watch it transform into a beautiful bold foamy color. Stir well and transfer to a bowl and place in refrigerator for about 1 hour.
Remove from refrigerator and stir in the pineapple until completely combined.
Return to refrigerator and chill for about 4 more hours or overnight.
The gelatin salad is ready when it’s all firm and set.
I recommend removing the jello salad from the bowl and transferring to a serving bowl because no one wants to be the first to disturb such a beautiful salad.
Plus, it really looks better being all mixed up.
Serve jello salad chilled and maybe top with whipping cream but that is totally optional. Enjoy!
