How to make Strawberry Jello Fluff Salad
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together pudding mix, Jello mix, and water. Cook over medium heat and bring to a boil.
- Remove saucepan from heat and pour into a large mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate until mixture has thickened (overnight or for about 4-6 hours).
- Once mixture has thickened, beat until creamy with an electric hand mixer.
- Fold in Cool Whip, marshmallows, and fruit. Chill for about an hour before serving.
Storage Suggestions
Store the leftover salad inside an airtight container, or cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, for up to 3 days. The marshmallows will start to soften and get to mushy after 3 days.
Recipe Modifications
You can also add pineapple tidbits for another delicious twist. In a hurry? You can put the jello/pudding mixture into the freezer to set up and it will be ready to mix in about an hour.
This recipe to makes 10-12 servings, but you could easily cut it in half (use the small boxes of jello and only one 8 ounce container of Cool Whip) if you need less.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance can I make this jello fluff salad?
To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend making it more than 1 day in advance.
I find that the juice from the strawberries will make the salad runny.
For best results, make this salad the same day that you plan on eating it.
Can you make this fluff salad with sugar-free jello and pudding?
I have not made this salad using sugar-free jello or pudding, but in everything that I have read about sugar-free jello, it should still work out great for this recipe!
If you try it with sugar-free jello, leave a comment below and let us know how it worked.
Can you make this salad with fresh whipped cream?
I have never tried making this recipe without cool-whip – the cool whip is needed to get that fluffy texture.
If you use fresh whipped cream, I am afraid that you will not get the same fluffy consistency and this recipe will not turn out the way that it’s supposed to.

Notes
Using bananas is optional in this recipe (it’s great with or without them), but if you do use them, add them right before eating. They tend to turn brown and get mushy if you add them too early.
