Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package red velvet cake mix
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the red velvet cake mix according to package directions in a large mixing bowl. Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature, which typically takes about 1 hour.
- Crumble the cooled red velvet cake into small, uniform pieces using your hands or a fork. Ensure the cake crumbs are loose and not in large chunks.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and well incorporated, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully blended, creating a light and fluffy consistency.
- Add the crumbled red velvet cake pieces to the cream cheese mixture, stirring carefully to distribute evenly without breaking down the cake crumbs.
- Fold in mini marshmallows, chopped pecans, and chocolate chips, ensuring they are distributed throughout the salad.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and salad to chill thoroughly.
- Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and garnish with additional chocolate chips or pecans if desired.
- Serve cold and enjoy the decadent Red Velvet Fluff Salad as a dessert or sweet side dish.
Tips
- Make sure the cake is completely cooled before crumbling to prevent a mushy texture.
- Use an electric mixer for the cream cheese mixture to ensure a smooth, lump-free base.

- Can be prepared a day in advance, making it perfect for meal prep or entertaining.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
