Strawberry Jell-O Fluff Salad gives a perfect fruity fluffy delicious bite!I'm so excited about this Strawberry Jell-O Fluff recipe!  A couple of years ago I tried a cranberry fluff recipe for Thanksgiving that I didn't really love.  I'm not sure if it was because I did not like the texture of the cranberries, or just the taste overall, but I quickly tossed that recipe even though others at my table claimed to like it.

Although strawberries aren't really the fruit of choice during the holiday season, I love having the addition of this Strawberry Fluff Jell-O Salad on our Thanksgiving and Christmas menu, especially because I do not like cranberries.  Fresh strawberries are found year-round so it's not a problem to grab a few and slice them up for this strawberry fluff recipe.

How To Make Strawberry Jell-O Fluff Salad

Any Jell-O Fluff recipe typically calls for Cool Whip and fruit, but my secret additional ingredient here is... wait for it... BUTTERMILK.  I also use Cool Whip (and a lot of it!) but adding in 2 cups of buttermilk creates an even more creamy and wonderful strawberry fluff!

It is super easy to make this Strawberry Jell-O Fluff Salad by first mixing up a large package of Strawberry Jell-O and letting it cool for about an hour.  After that, whip it up with a whisk (or you can use your mixer) and then stir in the Cool Whip and buttermilk.  Lastly, fold in the strawberries and marshmallows -- now you've got a delightful strawberry fluff!

What Is Strawberry Fluff?

Why is it called strawberry fluff?  Because that's exactly how I would describe this dessert (or side dish)!  It's fluffy because of the cool whip and marshmallows and loaded with strawberry flavor from the strawberry Jell-O and fresh strawberry slices.  It's like eating strawberry flavored clouds!

Prep Time10 minutes mins
Cooling Time1 hour hr
Course: Dessert, Side Dish
Cuisine: American
Keyword: jello salad, strawberry salad
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 large (6 oz.) package strawberry Jell-O
  • 16 oz. Cool Whip
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries sliced (can use frozen)
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the boiling water and Jell-O until dissolved.  Refrigerate, uncovered, for 1 hour until thickened.
  • Remove from fridge.  Using a whisk or a mixer, whip the thickened Jell-O until creamy and very few lumps are left.  (Some little chunks may remain...no worries!)
  • Stir in the Cool Whip and buttermilk.  Fold in the strawberries and marshmallows, saving a few to garnish the top.
  • If desired, transfer to a prettier serving bowl since the mixing bowl will get pretty messy!  Cover and keep in the fridge for up to two days.
