Step 2: Fold in Whipped Topping
- Gently fold in the whipped topping to the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
- Use a gentle folding motion to maintain a light and airy texture.
Note: Folding rather than mixing vigorously keeps your fluff salad light instead of dense.
Step 3: Add Fruit and Marshmallows
- Slice fresh strawberries into bite-sized pieces.
- Add mini marshmallows and crushed pineapple to the cream mixture.
- Fold everything together carefully so that the fruit and marshmallows are evenly coated in the creamy base.
Step 4: Chill the Salad
- Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or individual cups.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften slightly.
Tip: For a more festive look, garnish with extra strawberries, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut before serving.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Once chilled, your Strawberry Fluff Salad is ready to delight your taste buds. It’s creamy, sweet, slightly tangy from the pineapple, and full of fresh strawberry flavor—a perfect combination that melts in your mouth.
