Salad Ingredients
- 1 can (15 ounces) peaches, drained and chopped
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
- Mix pudding base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, sour cream, and honey (if using) until the mixture is smooth and well combined to create a creamy base for the salad.
- Fold in fluff and fruit: Gently fold the whipped topping, mini marshmallows, and crushed pineapple into the pudding mixture, mixing evenly without deflating the whipped topping.
- Add peaches: Carefully add the chopped peaches to the mixture and stir gently to incorporate them without mashing, preserving their texture.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up slightly.
- Serve: Serve the Peach Fluff Salad chilled as a refreshing dessert or side dish and enjoy!
Notes
- For a sweeter salad, add the optional tablespoon of honey or adjust to taste.
- Ensure the canned peaches and pineapple are well-drained to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
- This salad is best served chilled, so refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Mini marshmallows add a fun texture, but you can omit them for a lighter version.
- Whipped topping can be substituted with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
