No Bake Cherry Delight Dessert

This is an old recipe that mom got from a lady who she’s known for years. She recently celebrated her 91st birthday I believe, so this recipe goes way back. It is a very easy dessert to throw together and your family will love it. Best of all, you can change the topping up to whatever kind of fruit you’d like. It is another simple and delicious recipe from mom. Let me know what you think about this version and y’all enjoy.
