Looking for a classic lemon fluff salad recipe with a big of a modern twist? This lemon fluff salad with lemon OREO’s is the perfect combination.
Like many fluff salads from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, this lemon fluff salad starts with lemon pudding mix and Cool Whip. It’s served cold, and perfect for any potluck, holiday dinner, cookout or an outdoor barbecue.
Here are the simple steps to create this fantastic pot luck Lemon Oreo Fluff Salad:
Step 1: Make the Creamy Base
To make this simple Oreo fluff recipe, you’ll start by mixing together the creamy base of the salad. This starts with cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon pudding mix, milk, a container of whipped topping and mini marshmallows. I use my stand mixer (or use a hand mixer), which makes the process really easy, quick and effortless.
Once this is mixed together, chill the creamy base for at least 2 hours. This will help the base set up nicely, and become more firm.
Step 2: Chop the Oreos and Zest a Lemon
While the creamy base of the salad is chilling, it’s a good time to chop up the lemon Oreo’s and grate the lemon zest. I quartered the Oreo’s, however, feel free to chop them any way you wish. I like to wait until the very last minute to add the cookies to the salad, as it ensures the cookies stay a little crisper once served.
Step 3: Stir in the Oreo’s and lemon zest
Just before serving this amazing fluff, add the chopped Oreo’s and lemon zest to the creamy base of the salad. Stir together well.
Step 4: Transfer to a Serving Bowl, Garnish and Enjoy!
Once everything is mixed together, the Oreo fluff is ready to be served. Transfer to your serving bowl of choice, and feel free to top with additional Oreo’s, lemon zest and even some lemon slices.
It makes for a very pretty presentation, and if you’re serving this side dish at a pot luck, the topping will give people and idea of what the salad actually consists of – Lemon OREOs!!
I hope this fantastic Oreo fluff salad inspires you to share an amazing dish with family and friends at your next pot luck, cookout or picnic. A sweet, creamy and delicious fluff is always a pot luck super star! Enjoy! ~Erin
