- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
- ½ cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- ½ cup sour cream or vanilla yogurt
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions

Notes
- Whisk Jello Thoroughly: Ensure complete dissolution of strawberry Jello granules in boiling water to prevent graininess and achieve a smooth base.
- Chill Carefully: Allow mixture to cool and slightly thicken before folding in whipped topping to maintain optimal texture and prevent separation.
- Balance Fruit Additions: Gently fold fresh strawberries and crushed pineapple to distribute flavor evenly without weighing down the fluffy consistency.
- Customize Creatively: Experiment with dairy alternatives like Greek yogurt or dairy-free whipped topping to accommodate dietary restrictions while maintaining the dessert’s light and airy texture.
