Strawberry Jello Fluff Salad is a classic mid-western holiday dish that includes strawberry jello, cream cheese, marshmallows, crushed pineapple and dream whip. This recipe is made without cottage cheese.
This recipe is one I grew up with, we always had a version of this jello salad at all holiday gatherings. I am not sure what the original name was, my sister always called it “Fluff” and it stuck! You can change up the taste of this recipe easily by changing up the jello flavor. Our family loves the Lime and have it the most but you can also make a Raspberry version.

RECIPE NOTES
My mom uses a manual hand mixer to mix the cream cheese and Jell-O mixture. I use an electric hand mixer either will do.
You can make different versions of this recipe by using other flavors of Jell-O this can change the color for different holidays or events.
Can you use Diet 7-Up or Sprite? Yes, you can reduce the sugar easily by substituting a Diet Soda.
I used a 7″x11″ Pyrex Glass Baking Dish for this recipe.
