- 1 (3 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
- 1 (15 ounce) can fruit cocktail, drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can sliced peaches, drained and cut
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen unsweetened strawberries, thawed
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup pecan halves
- In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth. Let it stand for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream until just combined.
- Add the drained fruit cocktail, cut peaches, thawed strawberries, mini marshmallows, and pecan halves to the pudding mixture.
- Stir carefully to coat all the ingredients with the creamy pudding.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For an extra creamy texture, you can use a full carton of whipped topping instead of whipping your own cream.
- Feel free to substitute your favorite fruits or add others like grapes, mandarin oranges, or pineapple.
- Ensure all fruit is well-drained to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
