A light and fluffy dessert salad featuring layers of fresh strawberries, whipped topping, instant vanilla pudding, and sponge cake cubes. This Strawberry Shortcake Fluff Salad is easy to prepare, refreshingly sweet, and perfect for a summer gathering or a quick treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 3 cups fresh strawberries, washed and sliced

Dairy & Mixes

  • 1 cup whipped topping (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

Baked Goods

  • 4 cups sponge cake cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Wash and slice the fresh strawberries into thin pieces. Set them aside to use in layering later.
  2. Make Pudding: In a medium bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk. Stir according to package instructions until smooth, then let it thicken for about 5 minutes.
  3. Combine With Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the thickened pudding until well combined, creating a light and creamy mixture.
  4. Layer Ingredients: In a large serving bowl, arrange a layer of sponge cake cubes first, followed by half of the sliced strawberries, then spread half of the whipped pudding mixture over the strawberries.
  5. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process with the remaining cake cubes, strawberries, and whipped pudding mixture to build up the salad.
  6. Chill Before Serving: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the fluff salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to absorb some moisture.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries for sweetness and flavor.
  • You can substitute sponge cake with angel food cake or pound cake if preferred.
  • Make the whipped topping from scratch by whipping heavy cream with a bit of sugar and vanilla for a fresher taste.
  • This salad can be prepared a few hours in advance but is best served the same day to maintain cake texture.
  • Optional garnish: sprinkle with fresh mint leaves or additional sliced strawberries before serving.
