Summer is the time to pull out all the fluff recipes and a new favorite is this Strawberry Fluff, technically it’s a strawberry whip cream jello dessert….but in my house we just call it fluff. If you’ve never tried a fluff recipe you are missing out, two of my favorites are my Pineapple Cherry Fluff and this Blueberry Fluff. Both are to-die-for!
Total confession time….I totally serve this a side dish. Don’t judge me! I know you are sort of judging me, aren’t you?!?!?!
I know y’all would probably consider this a dessert, but I’m thinking it’s more like a jello salad. And by default salads are considered side dishes because you’d never eat salad for dessert. Am I right?!?!
You know I have point. And now you’re secretly considering it, aren’t you.
Plus, if this Strawberry Fluff is just a side dish imagine what dessert could be. Another bonus is that you’ll quickly be voted as MOM OF THE YEAR for letting the kids have a spoonful or two with supper. I mean it has fruit and nuts….what could be wrong with that.
Save Recipe- 16 oz can Crushed Pineapple
- 3 oz package Strawberry Jello (dry mix only)
- 8 oz (or 9 oz) tub thawed whipped topping (like Cool Whip or CocoWhip, which is dairy free)
- 21 oz can Strawberry Pie Filing
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chopped Walnuts (or other nuts)
Drain pineapple and reserve liquid in a medium bowl. Add dry jello mix to reserved liquid and stir well to dissolve. Let sit to start thickening.
In a large bowl (that has a lid), add thawed whipped topping, strawberry pie filling, crushed pineapple, mini marshmallows, and nuts. Gently stir a few times to start combining. Add in jello mixture and continue stirring until well combined.
Cover and refrigerate for several hours until it's chilled and has thickened back up.
When strawberries are in season I just can’t help myself….I make strawberry everything!!! Love these 9 Summer Strawberry Recipes.
