Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pints (0.95 liters) strawberries, fresh, sliced
- 0.5 loaf pound cake or angel food cake, premade or boxed mix
- 10.5 oz (298 g) mini marshmallows
- 8 oz (226 g) whipped cream topping
- 14 oz (397 g) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Cake Preparation: Transform angel food cake into precise 1½-inch cubes, removing any dark edges and ensuring uniformity for an elegant presentation.
- Creamy Foundation: Whisk whipped cream topping with sweetened condensed milk until achieving a luxurious, silky blend that forms the dessert’s fundamental texture.
- Marshmallow Integration: Gently fold mini marshmallows into the creamy mixture, creating pockets of soft, sweet suspension throughout the salad.
- Fruity Incorporation: Delicately introduce sliced strawberries and cake cubes, blending ingredients with minimal disruption to maintain structural integrity and visual appeal.
- Chilling and Flavor Melding: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing flavors to harmonize and develop a cohesive, refreshing profile.
- Serving and Preservation: Consume within 1-3 days, revitalizing the texture by stirring in additional cake cubes or sprinkling instant pudding mix if marshmallows begin to soften.
Notes
- Cake Preparation Tip: Use fresh, plain angel food cake and cut into precise, uniform cubes to ensure even texture and consistent bites throughout the dessert.
- Mixing Technique: Whisk cream and condensed milk thoroughly to create a smooth, silky base that helps bind all ingredients seamlessly without lumps.
- Marshmallow Management: Fold marshmallows gently to prevent crushing, maintaining their soft texture and preventing them from becoming overly dense in the mixture.
- Freshness Hack: Consume within 1-3 days and consider adding instant pudding mix or fresh cake cubes if marshmallows start losing their original springy consistency to revive the dessert’s appealing texture.
