Millionaire Peach Salad (Peach Fluff) is one of those delicious Cool Whip concoctions that’s really more like a dessert than a salad. It’s very similar to Watergate Salad which is made with pistachio pudding. Millionaire Peach Salad has lots of peach flavor and is really easy to throw together for a picnic or potluck.
This is such an easy summer recipe, but it’s made with canned peaches so it can be made all year round. Both canned peaches and a box of peach gelatin give it the peach flavor.
Cool Whip and a block of cream cheese give it the creamy texture. Mini marshmallows and chopped pecans provide some texture contrast.
How To Serve
This cool and creamy recipe for peach dessert salad is quick and easy to prepare a day in advance and makes a delightful potluck dessert. Perfect for summer. Can be served as a dip with butter cookies or graham crackers. Sometimes I Like to garnish it with maraschino cherries.

Thanks for Instruction easy and Simple Looking Yummy – Peach Salad
This is a good recipe. Do not add Jell-O mix to cool whip. Instead let Jell-O mix dissolve in water first before mixing together. There were small grains from Jell-O in the salad when it was all done.
Love, love this salad. Looks so cool and refreshing.
Its hardly a salad. It’s actually a dessert which many Southern salads are. I regret seeing posts like this because nutritionally they are garbage.
Delicious!!! We substituted for a spicy ranch packet. So very good. Had to be low to zero carbs.
Are you insane ? DO you even know this is a sweet salad? No one would use ranch packets
