My strawberry fluff recipe is a no bake dessert straight from my Nana’s kitchen. Cool, creamy, and full of strawberry flavor, this fluff salad is great for holidays, potlucks, and more.

I grew up eating my Nana’s fluff salad desserts. She made several different versions over the years but one of my favorites is this strawberry fluff that she would make for Easter.

The beautiful pink color and creamy texture was always the perfect thing to go with ham, deviled eggs, and all the other holiday dishes.

Now, I love making this for my family. The one thing I did change from her recipe is leaving out the pineapple. My family enjoys this fluff recipe with just the strawberries as the main fruit.

Heather’s recipe tips

• Gently fold the whipped topping in with the other ingredients.
• You can serve immediately but I recommend letting it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour for all of the flavors to come together.
• You can leave out the pecans if you don’t like nuts.
