Easy Strawberry Fluff Recipe
Strawberry fluff is a delightful light and airy dessert that features a base of whipped cream or whipped topping mixed with fresh strawberries, mini marshmallows and in this recipe I include crushed graham crackers for added texture. The combination of textures is delightful delivering creamy from the whipped cream, juicy from the strawberries, and a hint of marshmallow-like softness. Serve it chilled, as a dessert salad or side dish at picnics, barbecues, or any gathering where something sweet and refreshing is in order.

How to Make the BEST Strawberry Fluff Recipe
- Key ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Strawberry Fluff: Plain neufchatel or classic cream cheese, fresh strawberries, instant cheesecake pudding mix, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, strawberry ice cream topping or strawberry preserves, mini marshmallows and crushed graham crackers.
- Kitchen tools you’ll need: Large bowl, electric hand mixer or stand mixer, rubber spatula, measuring cups and spoons, sharp knife and cutting board and strawberry huller.
- To make fluff you will need a mixer. It’s important to combine the cream cheese and pudding mix thoroughly to make sure it has a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Will the graham crackers soften? Just like the vanilla wafers in banana pudding, the graham crackers will naturally soften once combined with the remaining ingredients. If you prefer, you can omit the graham crackers in the fluff and use only the crumbs as a garnish.
- Can you use frozen strawberries to make fluff? You could but fresh is ideal. Should you choose to use frozen, they should be thawed and drained prior to mixing with the remaining ingredients.
- Store Strawberry Fluff in an airtight container chilled in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Leftovers: You can freeze strawberry fluff as well. Freeze it for up to 2 months and thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Mix well to combine prior to serving.
