Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 3.4 oz vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla instant pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk together for about 2 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Using an electric hand mixer or a whisk, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. This will take about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture using a spatula, taking care not to deflate the cream. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Add the mini marshmallows to the creamy mixture, stirring gently to ensure they are evenly distributed.
Finally, carefully fold in the fresh raspberries to avoid crushing them. Stir just enough to incorporate them throughout the salad.
Transfer the Raspberry and Cream Salad to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and aroma, if desired.
