Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then dice them into small pieces. Set them aside to drain any excess liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the cream cheese. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and drained crushed pineapple using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Finally, fold in the diced strawberries, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to avoid breaking down the strawberries.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a serving dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold and enjoy this fluffy, fruity salad as a light dessert or a side dish!
