Strawberry Shortcake Fluff Salad is a light, refreshing dessert that combines juicy fresh strawberries, fluffy pound or angel food cake cubes, mini vegan marshmallows, and a creamy mixture of whipped topping and sweetened condensed milk.

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 2 pints fresh strawberries, sliced

Cake

  • ½ loaf pound cake or angel food cake, cut into 1½ inch cubes

Mix-ins & Toppings

  • 10.5 oz mini vegan marshmallows
  • 8 oz whipped cream topping
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake: Cut the pound cake or angel food cake into 1½ inch cubes to ensure bite-sized pieces that evenly blend into the salad.
  2. Mix Creamy Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the whipped cream topping and sweetened condensed milk. Blend gently until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which will serve as a luscious base for the salad.
  3. Add Marshmallows: Fold the mini vegan marshmallows into the creamy mixture carefully so they are evenly distributed without deflating the whipped topping.
  4. Incorporate Strawberries: Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the marshmallow and cream mixture, taking care to keep the fruit intact to maintain texture and visual appeal.
  5. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld and the cake to soften slightly, enhancing the overall texture.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the salad chilled, either spooned into bowls or layered in parfait glasses for a visually appealing presentation.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries for a naturally sweet flavor.
  • You can substitute the vegan marshmallows with regular mini marshmallows if vegan options are not necessary.
  • Allowing the salad to chill longer will intensify the flavors and soften the cake further.
  • This recipe is best served within 24 hours to maintain freshness and texture.
  • Angel food cake offers a lighter alternative compared to pound cake, ideal for those seeking a fluffier texture.
