Instructions

-

5. Fold in chopped peaches, mini marshmallows, and chopped nuts (if using).
6. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 4: Chill and Serve

Notes
Use Softened Cream Cheese – Blends smoothly and prevents lumps.
Don’t Overmix – Fold gently to keep it fluffy.
Drain Peaches Well – Too much juice will water down the salad.
Add Texture – Chopped nuts or coconut give a nice contrast.
Chill Time Matters – Allows flavors to meld and improves consistency.
