Pineapple Fluff is a no-bake dessert recipe with Cool Whip, pineapple, marshmallows, instant pudding, pecans and coconut.
THE BEST PINEAPPLE FLUFF
This Pineapple Fluff is a different take on ORANGE FLUFF. There are a lot of ways to change it up. All you have to do is switch out the pudding flavors or canned fruit.
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS DESSERT OR SIDE DISH RECIPE:
- If you don't like shredded coconut, just leave it out and use coconut cream pudding instead of vanilla.
- Or, if you can't find the coconut cream pudding, just add a teaspoon of coconut extract to the mixture.
- To make it taste more like a Pina Colada, add a teaspoon of rum extract!

Recipe turned out great, except I wish I would have doubled ingredients. I made it as is to take to a potluck and it didn't seem like a very big bowl.

OMG Brandie! This is amazing! I added some mandarin oranges, toasted chopped Walnuts, fruity marshmallows and both of the rum and coconut extracts. I also used vanilla pudding because we don't care for the coconut. Thanks Brandie for the recipe!
