Ingredients

Scale

Gelatin Base

3 ounces strawberry jello mix
1 cup water (boiling)
1 cup crushed ice

Pudding Mix and Whipped Topping

3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
8 ounces whipped topping (Cool Whip, thawed)

Fruits and Extras

16 ounces fresh strawberries, quartered (about 2 cups)
8 ounces crushed pineapple, drained
2 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

Dissolve the jello: In a large bowl, combine strawberry jello mix and boiling water. Whisk to dissolve all of the jello completely.
Add ice and thicken: Add the crushed ice to the jello mixture and stir until the ice is melted, helping to cool the mixture down.
Incorporate pudding mix: Whisk in the instant vanilla pudding mix until fully combined and the mixture begins to thicken.
Chill the base: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly.
Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the jello-pudding mixture until it is well combined and smooth.
Add fruits and marshmallows: Carefully stir in the quartered fresh strawberries, drained crushed pineapple, and mini marshmallows to the mixture for a fruity, chewy texture.
Final chilling: Refrigerate the combined mixture for at least one hour before serving to ensure it is well set and chilled.

Notes

Ensure the ice is fully melted before adding the pudding mix to avoid clumps.
Use fresh, ripe strawberries for best flavor and texture.
This dessert can be prepared a day in advance and kept refrigerated.
For a lighter version, consider using sugar-free jello and reduced-fat whipped topping.
Mini marshmallows add a fun texture, but they can be omitted if preferred.
