Pineapple Fluff

Here’s a  Pineapple Fluff recipe — a classic, light, and fluffy dessert that’s sweet, tangy, and creamy. Perfect for potlucks or anytime you want a refreshing treat!

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:

1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Base:
   In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

2. Add Pineapple:
   Add the entire can of crushed pineapple, including the juice, to the cream cheese. Mix well until combined.

3. Fold in the Marshmallows:
   Gently fold in the mini marshmallows. The marshmallows will add a nice fluffy texture and a bit of sweetness.

4. Add Coconut and Nuts:
   Stir in the shredded coconut and chopped nuts (if using). These add texture and flavor to the fluff.

5. Fold in the Whipped Topping:
   Carefully fold in the whipped topping to keep the mixture light and airy.

6. Chill:
   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to let the flavors meld and the marshmallows soften.

7. 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.
