Strawberry Fluff Recipe

• Bright red strawberry Jello is what makes this strawberry fluff recipe is so fun and colorful! Make it in just one bowl, chill, and then watch it disappear!
• Barbecues, picnics, and potlucks must have a fun dish like this berry fluff for kids and grown-ups alike!
• Strawberry fluff salad is not only quick and easy to make with items that are probably already in the pantry, but it’s also a perfect make-ahead side dish, salad, or dessert.

What Is Strawberry Fluff Made Of?

DAIRY – Plain yogurt is used to mix with the Jello powder, but strawberry yogurt can be used for extra fruity flavor. Or use Greek-style yogurt for a thicker salad which is the perfect texture for a no-bake tart or pie filling. Cream cheese whipped with some milk can also be used in place of yogurt.

JELLO – Strawberry Jello powder gives this dessert its signature color, flavor and texture. It’s uniquely creamy and sweet, and a real show stopper!

FRUIT – Chunks of fresh strawberries make this fruit salad so pretty. For a heartier and healthier Jello salad or a dessert with a tropical flair, fold in drained pineapple, blueberries (4th of July dessert idea?) or sliced grapes.

EXTRAS – For crunch and extra flavor, add some sliced almonds or flaked coconut. Make nuts and coconut extra crunchy by toasting them in a small, dry pan until they are barely fragrant but will intensify their flavor!
