Ingredients
Base Mixture
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3.4 oz instant butterscotch pudding mix
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup smooth peanut butter
Mix-ins
- 8 oz Cool Whip (3 cups)
- 3/4 cup colorful mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons butterscotch baking chips
Topping
- 4 cups colorful mini marshmallows
- 1 cup butterscotch baking chips
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: Drop the softened cream cheese, instant butterscotch pudding mix, granulated sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and smooth peanut butter into a mixing bowl to form the base of your fluff dessert.
- Cream Together: Use an electric mixer to blend all the base ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Add the Cool Whip to the bowl. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold it into the peanut butter and butterscotch mixture until fully combined for a light and fluffy texture.
- Add Mix-ins: Stir in the 3/4 cup of colorful mini marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of butterscotch baking chips evenly throughout the mixture to add texture and bursts of sweetness.
- Chill the Fluff: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the fluff to firm up.
- Prepare to Serve: Remove the fluff from the refrigerator just before serving. Transfer it to a serving bowl for presentation.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the 4 cups of colorful mini marshmallows and 1 cup of butterscotch baking chips on top to create a festive and appealing garnish.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy this creamy, sweet, and colorful dessert treat.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to blend smoothly.
- You can substitute regular whipped topping instead of Cool Whip if preferred, but it may alter texture slightly.
- Chilling the fluff for longer than 2 hours can enhance flavor melding and firmness.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of marshmallows and butterscotch chips to taste or for dietary preferences.
- This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
