If you’re craving something light, creamy, and citrusy, this Lemon Jello Fluff is a must-try. It’s a nostalgic dessert salad that brings together lemon Jello, whipped topping, pineapple, and marshmallows for a dreamy no-bake treat that’s perfect for potlucks, family dinners, or summer picnics.
✅ Ingredients:
- 1 package (3 oz) lemon Jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 can (15 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- Optional: 1/2 cup cottage cheese or cream cheese for extra richness
Instructions:
1. Dissolve the Jello:
In a large mixing bowl, combine lemon Jello with 1 cup boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, then add 1/2 cup cold water. Let it cool slightly—about 10–15 minutes.
2. Add the pineapple:
Stir in the drained crushed pineapple. Chill the mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes, or until it thickens slightly (but not fully set).
3. Fold in the fluff:
Gently fold in the whipped topping, marshmallows, and cottage cheese or cream cheese if using. Mix until well combined and fluffy.
4. Chill & serve:
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set. Serve cold in dessert bowls or spoon into a graham cracker crust for a fun variation.
Tips:
- Add a sprinkle of crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers on top for crunch.
- Want a pop of color? Toss in a handful of chopped strawberries or mandarin oranges.
- Great make-ahead dessert—prepare a day in advance and keep refrigerated.
Whether you call it a salad, a fluff, or a dessert—Lemon Jello Fluff is a cheerful, no-fuss recipe that always delivers creamy citrus comfort.
