Ingredients
Classic 4-Ingredient Version:
-
32 oz vanilla yogurt (not Greek, or use cottage cheese for a different texture)
-
3.4 oz package cheesecake or vanilla instant pudding mix (dry)
-
12 oz frozen raspberries (you can use fresh in some versions)
-
8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
Popular Variations:
-
Mini marshmallows (about 2–2½ cups)
-
16 oz cottage cheese (for a tangy, creamy base)
-
3.4 oz raspberry Jell-O (instead of or with pudding)
-
¼ cup powdered sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
-
2 cups fresh raspberries (as a garnish or in addition)
Select the combination that matches your preference for creamy, fruity, or extra-fluffy!
Instructions
-
Set out frozen raspberries and whipped topping to thaw slightly if needed.
-
In a large bowl, briskly whisk together yogurt and dry pudding mix until smooth and combined.
-
Gently fold in thawed whipped topping with a spatula until just combined.
-
Fold in frozen raspberries (and mini marshmallows or cottage cheese, if using) until evenly distributed. Raspberries will break down a bit, lending a beautiful pink hue.
-
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30–60 minutes to let flavors blend and marshmallows (if used) soften.
-
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh raspberries or mint. Best fresh but keeps 1–2 days in the fridge.
Alternative Jell-O method:
-
Whisk raspberry Jell-O with whipped topping, powdered sugar, cottage cheese, then fold in mini marshmallows and berries for a firmer “salad” texture.
