This Black Cherry Jell-O Salad is a nostalgic, vintage-inspired treat that perfectly blends the tartness of dark cherries with the creamy sweetness of condensed milk. By folding partially set gelatin into a whipped cream cheese base, you get a stunning marbled effect that looks as beautiful as it tastes. Ideal for potlucks, holiday dinners, or a cozy Sunday dessert.
