Notes
Thaw frozen whip in refrigerator before using it in this recipe.
To prevent your fluff from becoming watery, make sure your strawberries are completely dry after washing before you chop and fold them in. Any excess water on the berries can break down the whipped base, so patting them dry with a paper towel is the secret to a thick, gourmet consistency!
For the best consistency, let the strawberry fluff jello salad chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving. This allows the mini marshmallows to soften slightly and the dry gelatin to fully hydrate, resulting in a thick, velvety texture that holds up perfectly on a dessert table!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
