For the last few days our family has been on a “staycation” of sorts at a mountainside resort not far from our home. It has been so nice and relaxing…a much-needed getaway. One of the nice things about the property we stayed at were the poolside grills where families gathered to cook and eat favorite summer dishes together. It was fun to see all the different things that people were grilling and the sides they were serving as well. One dish I spied almost had me going over and asking if I could join another family for dinner! It has been so long since I have had what I call “Pink Fluff” and it’s really one of my favorite fruit salad sides. (You may have heard of a similar salad called “Ambrosia Salad,” but that usually contains cottage cheese and I personally am not fond of that salad!)
Ironically, as I was salivating over our neighbors’ dinner, I remembered that the last time I’d made this pink perfection, I’d also snapped some pictures of it but never got around to using them in a post! I do believe seeing the pink fluff dish here on our vacation was a nudge from the universe to make sure I didn’t forget to share this little slice of heaven in a bowl.
So here it is…my little contribution to summer (or any time of year) deliciousness!
Pink Fluff Fruit Salad
- 1 pkg frozen mixed berries
- 1 large container vanilla yogurt
- 1 small package of cheesecake pudding mix
- 1 container Cool Whip (or equivalent of real whipped cream)
Pour yogurt into a large bowl and add the pudding mix. Mix well.
Add Cool Whip (or whipped cream) and mix again.
Once it is all well-combined and creamy, add the berries. Fold berries in lightly with a spoon and enjoy the beautiful pink creamy goodness that appears. Chill until ready to serve.
Sadly, our staycation is almost over….but it’s been grand and being able to share this little piece of goodness with you has made it that much better. 🙂
