Instructions

Preparation:

1: Heat-Treat the Cake Mix (For Food Safety)

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread the dry cake mix evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 5 minutes, then let it cool completely before using. (This step ensures safe consumption in no-bake desserts.)

2: Make the Fluff Base

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Add the heat-treated cake mix, yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  3. Gently fold in the whipped topping to keep the mixture light and fluffy.

3: Add the Fun Mix-Ins

  1. Stir in the mini marshmallows, Valentine’s M&M’s, and white chocolate chips (if using).
  2. If desired, sprinkle extra M&M’s or sprinkles on top for a festive look.

4: Garnish & Serve

  1. Transfer the fluff to a serving bowl and smooth out the top.
  2. Decorate with extra sprinkles, mini marshmallows, and a drizzle of melted white chocolate (optional).
  3. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers, or chill for 30 minutes for a firmer consistency.
