Ingredients

Scale

3 ounces strawberry Jell-O mix (1 box)
1 cup hot water
½ cup cold water
3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix (1 box)
8 ounces whipped topping (like Cool Whip) (1 tub)
24 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled, halved, and sliced
20 ounces crushed pineapple, drained
10 ounces mini marshmallows (1 bag)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Jell-O Base

In a large bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jell-O mix in hot water, stirring until completely dissolved.
Add cold water, stir again, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to cool slightly.

Step 2: Add the Pudding Mix

Whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix into the chilled Jell-O mixture until smooth.
Refrigerate again for 15-20 minutes.

Step 3: Fold in the Whipped Topping

Gently fold in the Cool Whip until fully incorporated and no streaks remain.

Step 4: Add the Fruit & Marshmallows

Fold in the sliced strawberries, drained crushed pineapple, and mini marshmallows, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.

Step 5: Chill & Serve

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to thicken.
Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, ensure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to prevent excess moisture.
Fresh strawberries add a vibrant flavor, but frozen (thawed and drained) can work in a pinch.
Let the salad chill for at least 2 hours to achieve the perfect creamy texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
