Ingredients
Scale
Jello Mixture
- 1 (3 oz) box strawberry Jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
Fluff Base
- 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 (6 oz) container strawberry yogurt
Add-Ins
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
- 1 ½ cups chopped fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Dissolve Jello: In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jello in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved to ensure no granules remain.
- Add Cold Water: Stir in the ½ cup cold water to the dissolved Jello mixture to help it cool down.
- Chill Jello: Place the Jello mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly but not fully set, creating the perfect consistency for folding.
- Mix in Yogurt: Stir the strawberry yogurt into the slightly thickened Jello until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined, maintaining a light and airy texture.
- Add Marshmallows and Strawberries: Stir in the mini marshmallows and chopped fresh strawberries until evenly distributed throughout the fluff.
- Refrigerate to Set: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the fluff to set completely.
- Serve Chilled: Serve the strawberry Jello fluff cold for a refreshing, sweet dessert experience.

- You can substitute raspberry Jello and berries for a fun twist on the classic recipe.
- Ensure strawberries are fresh and ripe for optimal sweetness and flavor.
