Ingredients
Scale
Base Mixture
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 8 ounces whipped topping (thawed)
- 3 ounces peach-flavored gelatin
Mix-ins
- 30.5 ounces canned sliced peaches (drained and diced) or 5-6 fresh peeled, pitted, and diced peaches
- 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup pecans (finely chopped)
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use a handheld mixer on medium-high speed to beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese together with 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar for 1½ to 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Whipped Topping and Gelatin: Whisk in 8 ounces of thawed whipped topping and 3 ounces of peach-flavored gelatin until fully incorporated, creating a fluffy, peach-infused base.
- Fold in Peaches and Marshmallows: Gently fold in 30.5 ounces of drained and diced canned peaches (or fresh peeled, pitted, and diced peaches) along with 2 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows. Be careful not to overmix to keep the fluff light and airy. Cover tightly and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the fluff to set.
- Add Pecans and Serve: Just before serving, fold in 1/2 cup of finely chopped pecans for a delightful crunch. Serve the Peach Fluff chilled as a refreshing and sweet dessert.
Notes
- For best texture, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Using fresh peaches when in season adds a natural sweetness and texture, but canned peaches work well year-round.
- Thaw whipped topping completely before using to achieve the best fold-in results.
- The dessert can be prepared a day in advance and chilled to enhance flavors and texture.
- For a nut-free version, omit the pecans or substitute with toasted coconut flakes.
