Ingredients
For the Salad:
4.6 ounces cook and serve vanilla pudding mix (use cook and serve, NOT instant pudding)
6 ounces strawberry jello (2 boxes)
3 cups water
16 ounces Cool Whip (about half a container), thawed overnight in the fridge
10 ounces mini marshmallows (about 4 cups)
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Cook the pudding and jello: In a medium saucepan, add the vanilla pudding mix, strawberry jello mix, and 3 cups of water. Stir everything together. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir.
- Chill the mixture: Pour the jello and pudding mixture into a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 4-6 hours, or until it thickens.
- Beat the mixture: Once thickened, use a hand mixer to beat the mixture until it’s creamy and smooth.
- Fold in the Cool Whip: Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip using a spatula until fully incorporated and fluffy.
- Add marshmallows and strawberries: Fold in the mini marshmallows and sliced fresh strawberries gently.
- Chill until serving: Keep the salad in the fridge until ready to serve. It’s best served chilled for a refreshing treat!
Notes
- Different Fruit: Swap the strawberries for other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or pineapple for a different twist.
- Add Nuts: For some added crunch, fold in chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts.
- Lighter Version: Use sugar-free pudding mix, sugar-free jello, and light Cool Whip to make this a lighter version of the classic salad.
