🌸 Easter Marshmallow Fluff 🐰
Ingredients:
1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow fluff
1 cup freshly whipped cream (or store-bought whipped topping)
½ cup softened cream cheese
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup assorted pastel-colored candies (mini M&Ms, jelly beans, or candy-coated chocolates)
Optional: colorful sprinkles for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and free of lumps. This step ensures a creamy foundation for your fluff.
Combine Flavors: Add the marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix on medium speed until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture has a light, airy texture.
Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold in the freshly whipped cream using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as this preserves the fluffiness of the dessert.
Add Candies: Stir in half of the pastel-colored candies into the mixture. Reserve the remaining candies for decorating later. These candies provide bursts of color and crunch in every bite.
Chill the Fluff: Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and smooth out the top with a spatula. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and firms up the texture slightly.
Decorate and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle the reserved candies and a dash of colorful sprinkles over the top for a vibrant, festive presentation. Serve alongside fresh fruit, graham crackers, or pretzels for dipping—or enjoy it straight from the bowl!
