Ingredients
Scale
Jello Mixture
- 1 package (3 oz) strawberry jello mix
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 cups frozen strawberries, thawed
Fluff Salad Base
- 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Dissolve Jello: In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry jello mix with 2 cups of boiling water. Stir thoroughly until the jello is completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool slightly but not set.
- Add Strawberries: Once the jello mixture is cooled but still liquid, stir in the thawed frozen strawberries evenly.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the Cool Whip into the jello and strawberries mixture until well combined, creating a light and fluffy texture.
- Incorporate Marshmallows: Add the mini marshmallows and gently mix to distribute them evenly without deflating the fluff.
- Chill: Transfer the combined mixture into a serving bowl or individual serving cups. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set and chill thoroughly before serving.
Notes
- Use frozen strawberries thawed first to avoid watering down the salad.
- For an extra twist, try adding chopped nuts or substituting with fresh strawberries.
- This salad tastes best when chilled overnight, enhancing flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a firmer salad, reduce the amount of Cool Whip slightly.
- Ensure the jello mixture is cool enough before adding Cool Whip to prevent melting.
