Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 (8 oz) container of whipped topping
- 1 cup soft cake pieces (like angel food cake)
- 1 (3.4 oz) package of instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: additional strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes so it can thicken up nicely.
- Combine the creamy ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the whipped topping, thickened pudding mixture, and vanilla extract. Gently fold these together until they’re well blended, resulting in a cloud of creamy deliciousness.
- Fold in the strawberries and cake: Carefully mix in the sliced strawberries and soft cake pieces, ensuring everything is just combined and full of colour.
- Chill and set: Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop and the salad to set.
- Serve and garnish: Scoop the fluffy salad into individual bowls and top with additional strawberries for an extra fresh touch.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For a lighter version, try using reduced-fat whipped topping.
