You could call this a “fluff” or you could call this a “salad,” but all you really need to know is it’s a sweet, cool and creamy concoction that’s stuffed with fresh juicy berries. It’s a little bit retro, a lot delicious, and it only takes a few minutes to put together.

A dish like this usually relies heavily on a tub of whipped topping, and while that is a component here, there’s also cream cheese, and heavy cream, and powdered sugar that are beaten together into a rich and creamy mixture. The whipped topping is folded in to keep things light, but the first three ingredients add a more authentic creamy flavor.

And then there’s the berries. You can use any combination you like, but we’ve used fresh sliced strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries – six full cups of them! It’s very berry, for sure.
