A creamy, dreamy no-bake salad that combines the flavors of classic strawberry shortcake with whipped topping, cake pieces, and fresh strawberries. Perfect for Mother’s Day or any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 4 cups angel food cake or pound cake, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 8 ounces whipped topping (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 package (3.4 ounces) vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • Optional garnishes: fresh mint leaves, extra strawberries, or strawberry sauce

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the vanilla instant pudding mix and cold milk together until smooth and slightly thickened. Set aside for 5 minutes to fully set.
  2. Hull and slice the strawberries into bite-sized pieces. Set aside a few whole strawberries for garnish if desired.
  3. Cut the angel food cake or pound cake into small cubes, about 1-inch pieces.
  4. Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped topping into the prepared pudding until fully incorporated. Take care not to deflate the fluffiness.
  5. Stir in the mini marshmallows for added texture. Adjust the amount based on your preference.
  6. In a large serving dish, layer the cake cubes, strawberries, and pudding mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous dollop of pudding mixture on top.
  7. Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
  8. Before serving, add fresh strawberries on top and optional mint leaves for a pop of color.

Notes

Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. Angel food cake keeps the salad light, while pound cake adds richness. Chill the salad for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
