Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 14-ounce cans sliced peaches in heavy syrup
- 1 12-ounce carton Cool Whip
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Dairy and Sweeteners:
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 3-ounce box peach jello
Nuts:
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Whip softened cream cheese and powdered sugar using a hand-held mixer until achieving a silky, uniform texture, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gently incorporate Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture, then sprinkle peach Jello powder, stirring until fully blended and displaying a uniform peachy color.
- Drain canned peaches, reserving two tablespoons of syrup. Chop peach slices into bite-sized pieces to distribute fruit evenly throughout the salad.
- Fold reserved peach syrup and cut peaches into the creamy mixture, stirring delicately to maintain peach integrity and distribute flavors.
- Add mini marshmallows to the mixture, gently folding to integrate without deflating the airy texture.
- Refrigerate salad for minimum 2 hours, allowing flavors to meld and mixture to slightly set, creating a cohesive dessert consistency.
- Before serving, sprinkle chopped pecans and give a final gentle stir, introducing a satisfying crunch that complements the creamy base.
Notes
- Drain peaches thoroughly to prevent watery texture, ensuring a creamy and rich consistency in the salad.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother blending and easier incorporation with other ingredients.
- Consider reducing sugar for a less sweet version or swap marshmallows with toasted coconut for a different flavor profile.
- Toast pecans briefly before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and provide an extra layer of depth to the salad.
