Ingredients

Scale

Pudding Mixture

  • 5.1 ounces Vanilla Pudding Mix (not instant)
  • 6 ounces Strawberry Jello
  • 3 cups water

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, cut up
  • 10 ounces mini marshmallows
  • 16 ounces Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding and Jello mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix, strawberry Jello, and water. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring frequently to avoid lumps.
  2. Chill the mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the hot mixture into a small bowl. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, or until the mixture is firm to the touch and thoroughly chilled.
  3. Beat the chilled mixture: Once chilled, take the mixture out of the refrigerator and transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Using a handheld electric mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy.
  4. Fold in remaining ingredients: Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip, mini marshmallows, and fresh chopped strawberries, combining all ingredients evenly without deflating the fluffiness.
  5. Serve: Once combined, serve the strawberry fluff salad immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy this sweet, creamy dessert salad chilled.

Notes

  • Use non-instant vanilla pudding mix for best texture and consistency.
  • Make sure to fully thaw Cool Whip before folding it in.
  • Chilling time is essential to help the mixture set properly.
  • This salad is best served chilled and within 24-48 hours for optimal freshness.
  • For a lighter version, you can substitute Cool Whip with light whipped topping.
