No-Bake Italian Cream Dessert

Perfect for hot summer months, this no-bake Italian cream dessert also makes a tasty Holiday treat! We love the flavor of gingersnap cookies, so I chose them for this recipe. You can use any flavor cookie you enjoy.

  • 1 can of cherry pie filling, only use what you need and save the remainder 
  1. Mix sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
  2. Mix in pineapple with juice and set aside.
