🍍 Pineapple Fluff Dessert

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice (do not drain)

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut (optional)

  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

  • Maraschino cherries or extra pineapple for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Mix Pineapple & Pudding:
    In a large bowl, stir together the undrained crushed pineapple and the instant vanilla pudding mix until fully combined. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly.

  2. Add Marshmallows & Coconut:
    Fold in the mini marshmallows and shredded coconut (if using).

  3. Fold in Whipped Topping:
    Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is fluffy and smooth.

  4. Chill:
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set and nicely chilled.

  5. Serve:
    Spoon into bowls and top with chopped nuts, a cherry, or a sprinkle of coconut if desired.

Tips:

  • Swap vanilla pudding with cheesecake or banana cream flavor for a twist.

  • For a pink version, add a handful of drained crushed strawberries or strawberry gelatin mix.
