Ingredients

  • ½ cup sliced strawberries
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • 2 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple in juice, drained
  • 1 pkg (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 1 cup mini-marshmallows
  • ½ cup (2.25 ounces) chopped pecans
  • 1 ½ cups thawed whipped topping (I used Cool Whip Free)

Instructions

  • Mix first 8 ingredients (strawberries through pecans) in large bowl until well blended.
  • Gently fold in whipped topping. Refrigerate 1 hour.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: You can make this fruit fluff salad recipe up to a day ahead of time, and it will taste just as great the next day.
  • Storage: Fruit salad fluff should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days for the best taste.
  • Freezing: I would not recommend freezing fruit fluff. Even though whipped topping comes frozen, once you add the fruit mixture, the texture will change, and it won’t be appetizing.
  • If you’re using Cool Whip, make sure to thaw it in advance. I love Cool Whip Free – the fat free version – but any variety will work in this recipe.
  • You can omit the mini marshmallows if you’re not a fan. I’d recommend adding more of one of the fruits to make up for the missing ingredient.
  • If you don’t like pecans, you can swap them out for another chopped nut – try walnuts or pistachios!
  • Add extra texture with additional mix-ins like coconut flakes, cottage cheese, or chopped maraschino cherries.
