Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

2 cups fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced
1 cup drained canned pineapple chunks

Fluff Base

1 cup whipped cream (freshly whipped heavy cream preferred)
1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 1/2 cups cold milk (for pudding preparation)
1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

Prepare the Pudding: Whisk the vanilla pudding mix with cold milk until smooth and thickened, then set aside to chill slightly for better texture integration.
Combine Fresh Fruits: Wash, hull, and slice the fresh strawberries; drain pineapple chunks well to avoid sogginess, then gently mix them in a large mixing bowl.
Whip the Cream: Whip cold heavy cream until soft peaks form to create that light, fluffy base which gives the salad its signature texture.
Fold Ingredients Together: Carefully fold whipped cream, prepared pudding, marshmallows, and fruits together, preserving as much airiness as possible for an irresistible fluff.
Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1-2 hours to allow flavors to meld and achieve the perfect chilled, creamy consistency.

Notes

Use freshest strawberries for best flavor and color.
Gently fold ingredients to keep the fluff light and airy.
Drain pineapple chunks well to prevent excess moisture.
Refrigerate thoroughly to enhance flavor and texture.
Freshly whipped cream yields the fluffiest results.
Salad can be stored covered in refrigerator up to 3 days; stir gently before serving.
Freezing is not recommended due to texture changes.
