Ingredients

Scale

Base Mixture

  • 3 ounces (1 box) strawberry Jell-O mix
  • 1 cup hot water
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 3.4 ounces (1 box) instant vanilla pudding mix

Creamy Components

  • 8 ounces (1 tub) whipped topping, such as Cool Whip
  • 10 ounces (1 bag) mini marshmallows

Fresh Fruits

  • 24 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled, halved, and sliced
  • 20 ounces crushed pineapple, drained

Instructions

  1. Dissolve Jell-O Mix: In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jell-O mix in 1 cup of hot water, stirring until fully dissolved to create the gelatin base.
  2. Add Cold Water and Chill: Mix in ½ cup of cold water, then refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until the mixture is slightly thickened, preparing it for the pudding addition.
  3. Incorporate Instant Pudding: Stir in the instant vanilla pudding mix into the thickened Jell-O until fully combined. Chill again for an additional 30 minutes to set the layers properly.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping to create a creamy and airy texture that balances the gelatin and pudding base.
  5. Add Fruits and Marshmallows: Incorporate the sliced fresh strawberries, drained crushed pineapple, and mini marshmallows by folding gently to evenly distribute all ingredients without deflating the fluff.
  6. Final Chill: Refrigerate the completed salad for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the mixture to set firmly, enhancing texture and taste.
  7. Serve: Spoon the Strawberry Fluff Salad into individual serving bowls or onto a serving platter and enjoy chilled as a delightful dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure the Jell-O and pudding mixtures are fully chilled before folding in the whipped topping to maintain the fluffiness and structure of the salad.
  • You can customize this recipe by adding other fruits like blueberries or mandarin oranges according to your preference.
  • Adjust the quantity of mini marshmallows to make the salad sweeter or lighter based on taste.
