Combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth.
16 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Fold in the Cool Whip with a rubber spatula until incorporated. Take care not to overmix, so it keeps a fluffy consistency.
16 ounces Cool Whip
Stir in the diced strawberries and mini marshmallows until they are evenly coated.
32 ounces fresh strawberries, 3 cups mini marshmallows
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes or until ready to serve. Enjoy with graham crackers or cookies.
Notes
This recipe makes approximately 8 cups of fluff salad.
We prefer fresh strawberries for this recipe but you can use sliced frozen strawberries in a pinch. Just thaw them completely, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Otherwise the fluff salad may become watery as it sits.
