Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 ounce box strawberry Jell-O mix
- ½ cup boiling water
- 20 ounce can pineapple chunks or tidbits (drained very, very well)
- 1 cup finely diced fresh strawberries
- 4 ounces (½ tub) whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
- ½ cup marshmallow creme or fluff
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare gelatin mixture: In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the 3 ounce box of strawberry Jell-O mix in ½ cup of boiling water. Stir thoroughly until completely dissolved.
- Add fruit components: Stir in the very well-drained 20 ounce can of pineapple chunks or tidbits and the finely diced 1 cup of fresh strawberries, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Incorporate whipped toppings and marshmallows: Gently fold in 4 ounces of thawed whipped topping (Cool Whip), ½ cup of marshmallow creme or fluff, and 2 cups of mini marshmallows, mixing carefully to maintain a light, fluffy texture.
- Chill to set: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the dessert to set and flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Optionally garnish with extra fresh strawberries on top before serving to enhance presentation and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the pineapple is drained thoroughly to avoid extra liquid diluting the dessert.
- Use fresh strawberries for best flavor and texture.
- You can refrigerate the fluff for longer than 2 hours; it will keep well for up to 24 hours before serving.
- For a lower calorie version, consider using light whipped topping and marshmallow creme alternatives.
- This dessert is easy to double or halve based on serving needs.
