How To Create This Scrumptious Creamy Cookie Dessert

To whip up this delectable dessert, you will need a few key ingredients. And the freedom to explore some delightful variations.

Fudge-striped shortbread cookies are the star of this fluff salad recipe. They provide the fantastic crunch and rich fudge flavor that makes this salad so delicious.

Fudge-stripe cookies can be replaced with chocolate chip cookies, brownie pieces, or even toasted nuts or granola clusters to bring in different flavors.

Cool whip is the creamy dreamy element of this salad. To make it quick I used store-bought whipped topping. But you can whip up some by using heavy cream.

Buttermilk is used to add more depth of flavor while also bringing a bit of tanginess. That tanginess will help balance the sweetness of the cookies and other ingredients.

Of course, if you don't have buttermilk you can mix your own by using milk and vinegar or lemon juice. Of course, regular milk will also work just fine.

Instant French vanilla pudding is used to help add to the creaminess of the fluff salad. It creates a smooth and velvety consistency that complements the crunchy texture of the cookies.

While also enhancing the overall taste and bringing thickness to the salad. Instant Vanilla pudding will also work in this recipe or try using vanilla yogurt, greek yogurt, or vanilla custard.

Mandarin oranges give the cookie salad texture and sweetness. Not to mention they are also visually appealing. Fruit cocktail or canned peaches would be a great alternative to the oranges.

Or even maybe some mango chunks, pineapple tidbits, or kiwi slices. Mini marshmallows would complement the cookie crumbles well.

To make this cookie salad use a large bowl and whisk together the buttermilk and instant vanilla pudding mix. You can use a hand mixer or a whisk to get these ingredients blended. T

hen gently fold in the cool whip and mandarin oranges using a rubber spatula.

Now if you plan on serving this recipe right away then fold in the chopped cookies. To chop the cookies you can place the cookies in a zip lock bag and use a rolling pin over them. I just took the whole cookie and broke it into pieces with my hands.

If not serving right away wait until you are ready to serve before adding in the cookies. The fudge cookies will get soggy and lose their crunchiness from sitting in the cool whip mixture.
