I remember the first time I introduced this very berry fluff salad at a family gathering.

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Mixed Fresh Berries: A combination of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries offers a vibrant flavor explosion.
• Marshmallows: Mini marshmallows add sweetness and texture; don’t skimp on these little clouds of joy.
• Whipped Cream: Use fresh whipped cream for an airy texture; store-bought works too if you’re in a pinch.
• Sour Cream: Adds tanginess that balances the sweetness perfectly; Greek yogurt can be used as an alternative.
• Powdered Sugar: A sprinkle will sweeten the mix without the gritty texture of granulated sugar.
• Vanilla Extract: A splash enhances all the flavors; use pure vanilla extract for best results.

Let’s Make it Together

Gather Your Ingredients: Start by collecting all your ingredients on the counter. Make sure those berries are fresh and ready for their moment in the spotlight!

Prepare the Berries: Rinse your mixed berries gently under cold water. Pat them dry carefully with paper towels to keep them from becoming soggy.

Create the Cream Mixture: In a large bowl, combine whipped cream and sour cream. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract then mix until well combined and fluffy.

Add Marshmallows and Berries: Fold in mini marshmallows along with your prepared mixed berries into the cream mixture gently so you don’t smash them.

Taste Test Time!: Grab a spoon (or two) and taste your creation! Adjust sweetness by adding more powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Chill Before Serving: Cover your bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step allows flavors to meld beautifully!

Now you have created a delightful very berry fluff salad that will have everyone smiling! Enjoy serving this colorful dish at your next gathering or just as an indulgent treat after dinner—because who says you can’t have dessert twice?

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by whipping the cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold in the cream cheese mixture. This ensures a light and fluffy texture that won’t deflate, keeping your very berry fluff salad airy and delicious.
