Creamy raspberry fluff is made with raspberry jello, vanilla pudding, Cool Whip and raspberries. This easy no bake dessert is a refreshing light treat anytime of the year!
Raspberry Jello Fluff
I love a good fluff recipe especially when it’s jello mixed with pudding! This raspberry fluff is lighter than my strawberry cheesecake mousse but just as easy and creamy.
It has a sweet tart flavor from the fresh and frozen raspberries which makes it different from my tropical pineapple fluff. Like my ambrosia salad it can be served as a fruity side dish at the holidays but we love it as a lighter no bake dessert for summer!
Why I Love This Recipe
- This raspberry fluff salad combines creamy vanilla pudding with raspberry jello for the best raspberry vanilla flavor!
- Creamy raspberry jello is made with only 3 ingredients but I love to include frozen raspberries in the recipe to make the raspberry flavor stand out!
Ingredients Notes
Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.
- Vanilla pudding: This pudding jello recipe works best with Instant vanilla pudding.
- Raspberry jello: Raspberry jello powder is my favorite but you can use strawberry or orange for a different flavor.
- Cool Whip: To keep this easy I bought one a tub of Cool Whip. If you would like you can make your own homemade Cool Whip.
How to Make Raspberry Fluff
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil then add box of vanilla pudding and whisk well.
Remove from heat and add entire box of raspberry jello powder. Whisk until combined, pour into a large bowl then cool in the fridge for 3 hours.
Once chilled, add the Cool Whip and mix with an electric mixer until smooth. Fold in 1 cup frozen raspberries.
Gently add the raspberry fluff recipe to a serving dish and garnish with raspberries. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Recipe Tips and Variations
- Any flavor Jello works: Mixing jello and pudding works with any flavor! Keep the vanilla pudding but change up the Jello flavor to cherry, berry blue, orange etc.
- Cheesecake pudding: Try it with cheesecake pudding instead of vanilla pudding.
- Add-ins: Fold 1 1/2 – 2 cups mini marshmallows into the raspberry cool whip dessert when folding in the raspberries. Some recipes add in cottage cheese for protein!
- Lightened up: Use low-fat or light whipped topping and sugar free pudding for a low-calorie dessert. I feel that it makes the salad less flavorful and watery, though.
- Serve chilled: Raspberry fluff is best served cold. When chilled it tastes like a raspberry mousse or my kids say it’s like a raspberry push pop pudding!
