Ingredients You’ll Need
1 can (15–20 oz) sliced or diced peaches, drained
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup Cool Whip or whipped topping
½ cup sour cream or vanilla yogurt
1 small box (3.4 oz) vanilla or peach instant pudding mix
Optional: chopped pecans, shredded coconut, or maraschino cherries
How to Make This Peach Dessert Salad
1. Prep the Peaches
Drain canned peaches well to prevent excess liquid.
Cut into smaller pieces if needed.
2. Mix the Creamy Base
In a large bowl, combine Cool Whip, sour cream, and pudding mix.
Stir until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the Fruit & Mix-Ins
Fold in peaches, marshmallows, and any optional add-ins.
Stir gently to keep the fruit pieces intact.
4. Chill and Serve
Refrigerate for 1 hour or until nicely chilled.
Serve in bowls, dessert cups, or family-style.
Why This Dessert Works
The instant pudding mix thickens the creamy base instantly, giving it that classic “fluff” texture. Sour cream (or yogurt) adds a subtle tang that balances the sweetness. Peaches bring juicy bursts of flavor, while marshmallows give it extra softness and nostalgia.
