Scale
Base Ingredients
- 8 ounce tub cool whip, thawed
- 1¼ cup instant cheesecake pudding, prepared
Fruit Ingredients
- 1½ cup crushed pineapple, well-drained
- 1 cup mandarins from can, drained
- 1 cup diced pears
- 1 cup diced peaches
Additional Ingredients
- 10 ounce package fruit mini marshmallows
- Peep Rabbits for topping
Instructions
- Combine Base: In a large bowl, mix the thawed cool whip and prepared instant cheesecake pudding together until smooth and well blended.
- Add Pineapple: Fold the well-drained crushed pineapple into the cool whip mixture gently until evenly distributed.
- Incorporate Fruits: Add the canned mandarins, diced pears, and diced peaches to the mixture, folding carefully to avoid breaking the fruit.
- Fold in Marshmallows: Gently fold the fruit mini marshmallows into the mixture, ensuring they are well combined but not crushed.
- Chill to Set: Cover the fruit fluff and place it in the refrigerator to chill and set for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld and marshmallows to soften.
- Decorate and Serve: Remove from refrigerator, top with Peep Rabbits for decoration, and serve cold in cups or bowls.
Notes
- Thaw the cool whip completely in advance for smooth mixing.
- Chilling for at least an hour helps the flavors blend and softens marshmallows.
- This salad is best made ahead of time for optimal flavor and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Do not freeze as freezing changes the texture and causes watery separation.
