Scale
Ingredients
- 2 pints fresh strawberries, sliced
- ½ loaf pound cake or angel food cake (premade or from boxed mix)
- 10.5 oz mini marshmallows
- 8 oz whipped cream topping
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Base: Begin by slicing your prebaked pound cake or angel food cake in half horizontally. Trim off any dark or dry edges for freshness, then cut the cake into 1½ inch cubes. These pieces create a soft, textured base for the salad.
- Whip Up the Creamy Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whipped cream topping with the sweetened condensed milk. Stir gently until smooth and thick, creating a creamy cloud-like base for the salad.
- Add the Marshmallows: Stir in the entire package of mini marshmallows, distributing them evenly into the creamy mixture to add sweetness and fluffy texture.
- Incorporate the Strawberries: Gently fold the sliced fresh strawberries into the marshmallow cream mixture, bringing fresh color and juicy flavor to the salad.
- Combine Everything Together: Add the cake cubes to the bowl and carefully fold all ingredients together, ensuring each bite has a harmonious mix of cake, cream, marshmallow, and strawberry.
- Chill Until Serving: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or until ready to serve. This allows flavors to meld and marshmallows to soften slightly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Spoon generous portions into bowls or onto plates and serve chilled for a delightful dessert salad experience.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Angel food cake gives a lighter texture, while pound cake provides a denser bite—choose based on preference.
- Chilling for longer than 20 minutes can improve flavor melding but avoid over-soaking to keep the cake from becoming too soggy.
- This recipe is best enjoyed the same day for optimal marshmallow texture.
