Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 2 pints fresh strawberries, sliced
Cake
- ½ loaf pound cake or angel food cake (premade or boxed mix)
Mix-ins
- 10.5 oz mini marshmallows
Creamy Base
- 8 oz whipped cream topping
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake: Cut the pound cake or angel food cake in half and trim off any dark edges from ½ loaf. Then cut half of the loaf into 1½ inch cubes. Use plain cake without any frosting or filling, either from a bakery or baked from a boxed mix following package instructions.
- Mix Creamy Base: In a large bowl, combine the whipped cream topping and sweetened condensed milk, stirring until smooth and well blended.
- Add Marshmallows: Stir in the mini marshmallows evenly into the creamy mixture to incorporate fluff and sweetness.
- Add Strawberries: Slice the fresh strawberries and add them to the bowl with the creamy mixture and marshmallows.
- Combine Gently: Fold all ingredients together carefully until well combined, ensuring even distribution without crushing the strawberries or cake pieces.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the fluff salad until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Serve and Store: Best served within 1-3 days. Note that the marshmallow sugar may melt over time, affecting texture.
- Texture Tip: If the texture becomes too soft by day 2, refresh the salad by stirring in 1-2 tablespoons of vanilla or cheesecake pudding mix or by adding more cubed cake.
Notes
- The cake should be plain pound cake or angel food cake without frosting or filling.
- Using fresh strawberries enhances the flavor and texture.
- Marshmallows add sweetness and fluff but soften over time.
- Serve chilled for best taste and texture.
- Consume within 1-3 days for optimal freshness.
- Adjust texture later by adding pudding mix or extra cake cubes if it becomes too runny.
