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.
