Ingredients
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
- 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut (optional for texture)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional for crunch)
- 1/4 cup maraschino cherries, chopped (optional, for color and sweetness)
How to Make Snow Salad
Step 1: Combine the Creamy Base
In a large mixing bowl, fold together the whipped topping and sour cream until smooth and fluffy.
Step 2: Add the Mix-Ins
Gently fold in the drained pineapple, mini marshmallows, and any optional add-ins like coconut, nuts, or cherries.
Step 3: Chill
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the flavors to blend and the marshmallows to soften, giving it that signature cloud-like texture.
Step 4: Serve
Give it a light stir before serving, and spoon into individual bowls or a serving dish. Garnish with a sprinkle of coconut or a cherry on top if you’re feeling festive!
Optional Add-Ins & Variations
- Add a splash of vanilla extract or almond extract for extra flavor
- Swap pineapple for mandarin oranges, fruit cocktail, or fresh strawberries
- For a tangier version, add a little lemon zest
- Make it festive with colored mini marshmallows during the holidays
Tips for the Best Snow Salad
- Drain the pineapple well to prevent the salad from becoming watery
- Chill for several hours—this step is key to softening the marshmallows
- Fold gently to keep the whipped topping airy and light
- Double the batch for parties—it disappears fast!
