Calories: 362kcal
Ingredients
For the Salad
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 8-ounce container whipped topping thawed
- 1 3.4-ounce package instant cheesecake pudding mix
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 4 cups strawberries sliced
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows
For the Topping
- 20 Golden Oreos crushed
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 tablespoons strawberry gelatin powder
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until creamy.
- Stir in the cheesecake pudding mix and milk until combined.
- Fold in the whipped topping until smooth.
- Add strawberries and mini marshmallows and gently stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, mix the crushed Golden Oreos, melted butter and strawberry gelatin powder until coated.
- Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the crunch topping over the salad and garnish with additional strawberries if desired.
Notes
- Let it chill – This step is important, so don’t skip it! Chilling allows all of the flavors to meld together beautifully while giving the fluff time to thicken and get perfectly creamy.
- Mix gently – Use a rubber spatula to carefully fold the ingredients together. This helps keep the strawberries intact and preserves the light, airy texture of the fluff.
- Avoid over mixing – Too much mixing can deflate the whipped topping and leave you with a dense, flat dessert. Mix the ingredients together just until everything is combined.
- Serve your way – You can serve this delectable dessert in individual portion cups or in a large serving bowl for easy sharing.
- Wait to add the topping – For the best crunch, sprinkle the Oreo topping on just before serving so it stays crisp and doesn’t soften in the refrigerator.
- Use softened cream cheese – Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature before mixing to help create a smooth, lump-free texture.
- Pat strawberries dry – After washing and slicing, gently pat the strawberries dry to keep excess moisture from making the fluff watery.
