Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 2 pints fresh strawberries, sliced
Cake Base
- ½ loaf pound cake or angel food cake, premade or boxed mix
Creamy Mixture
- 10.5 oz mini marshmallows
- 8 oz whipped cream topping
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Base: Slice your pre-made pound cake or angel food cake in half and trim off any dark edges. Cut the cake half into 1½ inch cubes, which will add texture to the salad.
- Whip Up the Creamy Mixture: In a large bowl, gently stir together the whipped cream topping and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Add the Marshmallows: Fold in the entire package of mini marshmallows, ensuring they are evenly distributed for a fluffy texture.
- Incorporate the Strawberries: Gently fold the sliced fresh strawberries into the creamy marshmallow mixture to add color and fresh flavor.
- Combine Everything Together: Add the cake cubes into the mixture and gently fold all ingredients together to unite the flavors without breaking the cake.
- Chill Until Serving: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate until ready to serve, allowing flavors to meld and marshmallows to soften.
- Serve and Enjoy: Spoon into bowls or plates and serve within 1-3 days for the freshest taste.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- Angel food cake creates a lighter texture, while pound cake adds a richer, denser bite.
- For a lower-fat version, substitute whipped cream topping with whipped topping alternatives or light whipped cream.
- Serve chilled for optimal flavor and texture.
- This dessert is best consumed within a few days to maintain freshness and texture.
