Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4.6 ounces Cook and Serve Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 6 ounces Strawberry Jello Package
  • 10 ounces Mini Marshmallows

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 cups Water
  • 16 ounces Cool Whip (thawed)

Fresh Ingredients

  • 2 cups Strawberries (fresh, diced or sliced)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Base Mixture: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix, strawberry jello mix, and water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the powders completely and prevent burning.
  2. Chill Mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the hot mixture into a large mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate it for 4 to 6 hours or overnight until the mixture is fully chilled and set.
  3. Whip Pudding Base: Once chilled and firm, use a handheld electric mixer to beat the pudding and jello mixture until it becomes creamy and smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
  4. Fold in Remaining Ingredients: Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip, mini marshmallows, and fresh strawberries. Mix carefully to combine without deflating the fluffiness of the dessert.

Notes

  • For best texture, ensure the Cool Whip is fully thawed before folding in.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for optimal flavor and sweetness.
  • You can substitute fresh strawberries with frozen ones, but be sure to thaw and drain them well before adding.
  • This salad tastes best when served chilled; keep refrigerated until serving.
  • For a more colorful salad, consider adding other fruits like blueberries or mandarin oranges.
