Your holiday hill to die on.

My DF makes a wholly different Pink Stuff. It would be horribly scary (to me, anyway) if it weren't all fresh ingredients: grapes (sliced in half), cranberries (popped in the Cuisinart with sugar and then left to sit overnight), whipped cream (as in we buy heavy cream and whip it with sugar and vanilla), apples, blueberries, raspberries, walnuts, strawberries... between the cranberries and the raspberries, it's pretty well pink.

In short, fruit and whipped cream and sugar. Yum! I thought it looked terrifying until I tried. DF grew up with it made from Cool Whip and canned stuff (probably cheap, inferior quality canned stuff), but we're Foodies (and he is, after all, a chef) so he uses all fresh ingredients.

Or it could be strawberry jello, frozen strawberries, and cool whip.  It's one of my son-in-law's holiday favorites.  He calls it pink stuff.  I call it awful.  But I make it for him!

My aunt  made a similar Pink Stuff, but with the addition of cubes of angel food cake.

I have a recipe for a Passover-friendly dessert which involves whisking two egg whites and some chopped strawberries and some sugar in a stand mixer until it grows to about the size of half my kitchen. (Seriously, it becomes enough to overflow a fairly large serving bowl.)

It's PINK. And it's what I immediately thought of when I read "pink stuff" even though I sort of doubt it's what RooRoo was actually talking about.

Yep, almost!

Mine's a little healthier... a little. And depending on how you feel about artificial sweetener. (No cool whip passes my threshold! Ecch!) Sugar-free Jello, and nonfat yogurt (sweetener & vanilla added). If you aren't diabetic & don't care about empty calories, use regular Jello & vanilla yogurt.

Other combos I've made: rasberry Jello and blueberries; watermelon yog. & sweet melon; lemon & mangoes.

With strawberries & blueberries, I usually use frozen unsweetened. If I'm feeling rich & energetic, which is rare, I use fresh.

Wow! There sure are a lot of recipes for pink stuff! I wanna try them all!

We have a version of this, but with tiny pretzels mixed in. I know it sounds super weird, but it is really good!

Now see, in my family, it's called cherry yum yum (or 'ma-ma's pink goo') and it's cool whip, cherry pie filling, nuts, marshmallows, and all in a graham cracker crust.

My new holiday hill (to bring us back on track) - I won't let the fact that my house is a wreck make me stress out about it until the weekend before Christmas. I've had no time to do anything to this point (spent the weekend at the MIL's house) and it's just going to have to wait.

Ah, "Aunt Jeanne's jello dessert" a childhood classic!  Hers also contains mini marshmallows.  It's probably totally unhealthy, but I always loved it, and it brings back happy memories of childhood family gatherings.  I wish that I had some now.
