Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup granulated sugar (divided)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 cup mini marshmallows

1 cup crushed shortbread cookies (or vanilla wafers)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Toss gently to coat the strawberries. Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to release.

    Make the Whipped Cream: In a separate large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream and remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar together on medium-high until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Add in the vanilla extract and whip for another minute until fully incorporated.

      Blend the Cream Cheese: In another bowl, use the electric mixer to blend the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

        Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

          Mix in Other Ingredients: Add the strawberries (with juices), mini marshmallows, and crushed shortbread cookies to the cream mixture. Carefully fold everything together until evenly combined.

            Chill Out: Cover the fluffy salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.

              Serve and Enjoy: When ready to serve, spoon the fluff salad into dessert cups or bowls. Garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh mint if desired. Enjoy your Fluff-tastic Strawberry Shortcake Delight!
