Description

Millionaire Peach Salad is a luxurious and creamy dessert that blends sweet, juicy peaches with a rich vanilla pudding base, fluffy whipped topping, and delightful textures from mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans. Perfect for special occasions, this refreshing and indulgent salad offers a harmonious balance of fruitiness and creamy richness, chilled to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 can (15 oz) sliced peaches, drained and chopped
  • 1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, drained

Base & Cream

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (Cool Whip or similar)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-Ins

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Drain the canned peaches to remove excess syrup, then chop the peach slices into bite-sized pieces. Thoroughly drain the crushed pineapple to avoid excess liquid in the salad.
  2. Mix the Pudding: In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with the whipped topping. Stir the mixture until it becomes smooth and well blended.
  3. Add the Sour Cream: Gently fold sour cream into the pudding and whipped topping mixture to add a tangy richness, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout.
  4. Mix in Fruits and Add-Ins: Carefully fold in the chopped peaches, drained crushed pineapple, mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined without crushing the fruit.
  5. Add Vanilla and Chill: Stir the vanilla extract into the mixture for added flavor. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to firm up.

Notes

  • Make sure all fruit is well-drained to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • For a firmer texture, chill the salad overnight.
  • Use sugar-free pudding mix and light whipped topping for a healthier version.
  • You can substitute fresh peaches when in season for a fresher taste.
  • For a nut-free option, omit pecans or replace with sunflower seeds or additional marshmallows.
