Pineapple Fluff Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, undrained
-
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
-
1 cup mini marshmallows
-
1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, your choice)
-
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
-
1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Cream Cheese Base:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. -
Add Pineapple:
Add the entire can of crushed pineapple, including the juice, to the cream cheese. Mix well until combined. -
Fold in the Marshmallows:
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows. The marshmallows will add a nice fluffy texture and a bit of sweetness. -
Add Coconut and Nuts:
Stir in the shredded coconut and chopped nuts (if using). These add texture and flavor to the fluff. -
Fold in the Whipped Topping:
Carefully fold in the whipped topping to keep the mixture light and airy. -
Chill:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to let the flavors meld and the marshmallows soften. -
Serve:
Serve chilled in a bowl or individual cups. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of extra coconut or a few pineapple chunks on top.
Tips:
-
For an extra creamy version, you can whip the cream cheese before mixing to make it even fluffier.
-
If you don’t want nuts, just leave them out—it’s still delicious!
-
Use fresh whipped cream if you prefer homemade over store-bought whipped topping.
