A delightful and refreshing Strawberry Jello Fluff Salad combining the sweetness of strawberry gelatin, creamy vanilla pudding, fresh strawberries, and marshmallows whipped into a light, fluffy dessert perfect for gatherings and summer days.

Ingredients

Scale

Jello Mixture

  • 1 (3 oz.) box strawberry jello
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water

Pudding Mixture

  • 1 (3.4 oz.) instant vanilla pudding mix

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 (8 oz.) tub Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 lb. strawberries, sliced
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Dissolve Jello: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the boiling water and strawberry jello powder until completely dissolved and smooth.
  2. Chill Jello Mixture: Stir in the cold water, then place the bowl in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to start setting the gelatin.
  3. Add Pudding Mix: Remove from the fridge and whisk in the instant vanilla pudding mix until fully combined. Cover the bowl and return it to the refrigerator for another 15 minutes to thicken.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Take the mixture out of the fridge and gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip, freshly sliced strawberries, and mini marshmallows until everything is evenly incorporated.
  5. Final Chill: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set fully and the flavors to meld. Serve cold and enjoy this fluffy, fruity dessert!

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure to thaw Cool Whip completely before folding to maintain fluffiness.
  • Refrigerate long enough for the salad to fully set; overnight chilling yields the best consistency.
  • This salad can be made a day ahead and kept covered in the fridge.
  • For a variation, swap mini marshmallows for chopped nuts if preferred.
