Substitutions and Additions

STRAWBERRY JELLO: This great recipe would be tasty with a variety of different flavors of jello. Orange jello would make for an orange fluff salad. For a peaches ‘n cream flavor, peach jello would also be super yummy.

STRAWBERRIES: If you choose to change the jello flavor in this easy recipe, I recommend changing the fruit. For example, if you go with orange jello, try adding mandarin oranges instead of strawberries.

How to Make Strawberry Fluff

PRO TIP: This jello strawberry fluff is such a pretty color; using a see-through bowl such as a trifle bowl would be a great way to show off the lovely pink color.

STEP ONE: In a large bowl, combine strawberry jello mix and boiling water. Whisk to dissolve all of the jello. Add ice and stir until ice is melted.

STEP TWO: Whisk in vanilla instant pudding mix until thoroughly combined and the jello mixture thickens.

STEP THREE: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

STEP FOUR: Fold whipped topping into jello/pudding mixture until combined.

STEP FIVE: Gently stir in strawberries, pineapple, and marshmallows.

PRO TIP: Stir all the ingredients together carefully as you don’t want to break apart the fruit pieces.

STEP SIX: Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

PRO TIP: For best results, make sure you give your strawberry marshmallow fluff at least 1 hour of chilling time. It allows all of the yummy flavors to blend together.
