Ingredients

1 3-ounce package peach gelatin dessert mix
1 cup hot water
1/2 cup cold water
1 5.1-ounce package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 8-ounce container Cool Whip, thawed if frozen
3 15-ounce cans sliced peaches in 100% juice, drained well and cut into chunks (reserve a few slices for garnish)
3 1/4 cups mini marshmallows reserve 1/4 cup for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Gelatin:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the peach gelatin dessert mix with 1 cup of hot water. Stir thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Add 1/2 cup of cold water and mix well. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before proceeding.

Incorporate the Pudding Mix:

Once the gelatin mixture has cooled, gradually sprinkle in the instant vanilla pudding mix. Whisk continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and thickened. This may take a few minutes of consistent mixing.

Add the Cool Whip:

Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the gelatin-pudding mixture until it is evenly combined. The consistency should be creamy and light.

Include Peaches and Marshmallows:

Carefully fold in the peach chunks (excluding the reserved slices) and mini marshmallows (reserving 1/4 cup for garnish). Stir gently to ensure the peaches and marshmallows are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Chill the Salad:

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the salad has properly set and chilled.

Garnish and Serve:

Before serving, garnish the salad with the reserved peach slices and mini marshmallows. Serve chilled as a refreshing dessert or side dish.
