This creamy, fruity, and nostalgic Millionaire Peach Salad is the perfect no-bake dessert for summer gatherings, potlucks, or quick sweet cravings. Packed with peaches, pineapple, and marshmallows, it comes together in just minutes and tastes like a dreamy fruit-filled cloud.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 oz) sliced peaches, drained and chopped
- 1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Drain and Prep the Fruit: Open and drain the canned peaches and crushed pineapple thoroughly. Chop the peaches into bite-sized pieces and let both fruits sit in a strainer while you prep the rest.
- Mix the Cream Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with the whipped topping. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps of pudding powder.
- Add Tang and Body: Fold in the sour cream gently to give the mixture a rich, slightly tangy backbone. Make sure it’s evenly mixed for the best texture.
- Combine the Flavor Elements: Add the chopped peaches, drained pineapple, mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans to the creamy base. Gently stir to coat everything evenly without crushing the fruit or marshmallows.
- Finish with Flavor and Chill: Stir in the vanilla extract for an extra depth of flavor. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, or overnight if time allows, to let the salad set and flavors blend.
Notes
- For a pop of color, add maraschino cherries before serving. You can also experiment with flavored pudding mixes like cheesecake or banana. To make this dish dairy-free, use coconut whipped topping and a dairy-free yogurt in place of sour cream.
