2: Fold in the Whipped Topping

  1. Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
  2. Mix until the texture is light and fluffy.

3: Add the Mix-Ins

  1. Fold in the diced strawberries, mini marshmallows, and white chocolate chips (or pink candy-coated chocolate).
  2. Stir gently to ensure the mix-ins are evenly distributed without deflating the fluff.

4: Chill

  • S’mores Valentine Fluff: Replace white chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips and add crushed graham crackers for a s’mores-inspired dessert.

Cooking Notes:

  • Fresh strawberries add the best flavor, but frozen strawberries can work in a pinch if thawed and drained.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar to taste.
  • Use whipped cream instead of whipped topping for a homemade touch.
