Instructions
Step 1
Simmer the soda: Pour 2 cups of Coca-Cola into a saucepan. If you prefer a sweeter, thicker syrup, add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Step 2
Heat and reduce: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure the sugar (if used) dissolves completely.
Step 3
Reduce to syrup consistency: Allow the Coca-Cola to simmer uncovered. Continue cooking for about 20-30 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by about half and has thickened into a syrup consistency. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning, especially towards the end of the cooking process.
Step 4
Check consistency: The syrup will thicken as it cools, so test a small amount on a spoon to check the consistency. It should coat the back of the spoon and be slightly thick, similar to maple syrup. If it’s not thick enough, continue to simmer until it reaches the desired thickness.
Step 5
Cool and store: Once the syrup has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool completely. Pour the cooled syrup into a clean, airtight container or jar. Store the Coca-Cola syrup in the refrigerator. It should keep for up to 2 weeks. Use it as a drizzle for desserts, in drinks, or for flavoring dishes like your Strawberry Coca-Cola Fluff.

Step 6
Prepare the gelatin mix: In a large bowl, combine 3 parts strawberry gelatin mix and 2 parts cherry gelatin mix with 2 cups of whipped cream. Stir to combine
Step 7
Add the Coca-Cola syrup: Once the gelatin mix is whisked into the whipped cream, gently stir in the Coca-Cola syrup until well blended. The syrup will add a subtle cola flavor that compliments the fruitiness of the dish.
Step 8
Add pineapples: In a separate bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapples with the whipped cream and gelatin mixture. Mix well to evenly distribute the pineapple throughout.
Step 9
Mix in fruit and marshmallows: In another bowl, combine the grated strawberries, chopped cherries (keeping the 1:3 ratio), mini marshmallows, and 1/2 teaspoon of grated mint. Fold this mixture into the whipped cream and pineapple mixture, mixing gently until everything is evenly incorporated.
Step 10
Chill: Transfer the mixture into a serving dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Step 11
Garnish and serve: Before serving, top the set fluff with a layer of whipped cream. Arrange chopped strawberries in rows on top of the whipped cream. Sprinkle with the remaining pinch of grated mint for a touch of fresh aroma and color
