Step 1: Dissolve the Gelatin
- In a large bowl, pour boiling water over the strawberry gelatin.
- Stir for 2 minutes until fully dissolved.
- Add cold water and let it cool for about 15–20 minutes in the refrigerator — just until slightly thickened (not set).
Step 2: Add Fruit and Marshmallows
- Stir in drained pineapple, chopped strawberries, and mini marshmallows.
- Set aside.
Step 3: Mix the Cream Cheese
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the gelatin mixture and mix until well combined.
Step 4: Fold in Whipped Topping
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated and light in texture.
- The mixture should be fluffy and pink.
Step 5: Portion and Chill
- Spoon the fluff mousse into individual dessert cups or ramekins.
- Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours or until completely set.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
- Before serving, top with a dollop of whipped cream, a fresh strawberry slice, and a mint leaf for color.
