Strawberry Shortcake Fluff Salad is a delightful, no-cook dessert salad featuring fresh strawberries, airy vegan marshmallows, creamy whipped topping, and sweetened condensed milk, all combined with cubes of pound cake or angel food cake. This sweet, fluffy treat is perfect served chilled as a refreshing dessert or party dish.

Ingredients

Fruit

  • 2 pints fresh strawberries, sliced

Cake

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

Other Ingredients

  • 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 uniform pieces that will mix well with the other ingredients.
  2. Mix Creamy Ingredients: In a large bowl, blend together the whipped cream topping and sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming the base cream mixture.
  3. Add Marshmallows: Gently fold in the mini vegan marshmallows, taking care not to deflate the mixture, so they are evenly distributed throughout.
  4. Incorporate Strawberries: Carefully fold in the sliced strawberries to maintain their shape and freshness without crushing them.
  5. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least one hour. This allows the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften slightly for a fluffy texture.
  6. Serve: Serve the strawberry shortcake fluff chilled, either in individual bowls or layered as parfaits for an attractive presentation and refreshing dessert experience.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries for optimal sweetness and texture.
  • Angel food cake is a lighter alternative to pound cake that keeps the salad airy.
  • Vegan marshmallows ensure this dessert is suitable for vegans; if vegan marshmallows are unavailable, substitute with regular mini marshmallows.
  • This recipe does not require cooking, making it quick and easy to prepare.
  • Allowing the salad to chill improves texture and flavor integration.
