That looks awesome Brandie. Hubby loves pineapple anything so I can't wait to try this recipe. Stay cool my friend.
Delicious. Made it last weekend. Used sugar free cheesecake pudding and light cool whip. Yum-o.
This was SO good!!
Do you make the pudding or just use dry mix?
Dry...
We use pistachio pudding. It's a great compliment to the pineapple????
I made this exactly to your recipe. Wouldn't change a thing!
I love all your fluff recipes. I have made your Watergate (Pistachio)Fluff and your Orange Fluff. And now this! We Loved it - thank you for sharing these recipes with us, Brandie!
I grew up with these "fluff" desserts. Can't wait to try this one.
It is so good, I hope you enjoy!
Can this be made the night before or best to make a couple hours before hand?
You can make it the night before.
What can you use instead of marshmallows
Just leave them out. The recipe I had years ago did not have marshmallows in it so that's the only way I knew and it was delicious!
Can I make it on Friday to serve Sunday lunch? I have to work tomorrow
We love this but I used Greek yogurt & I also put in fruit cocktail along with oranges & fresh strawberries yummmy
How much greek yogurt did you use, and did you subtract any other ingredient?
I love your site... thanks for sharing.....ruby gray
This was great Brandie - thank you!
This looks delicious. Love the dessert cups. Would you mind sharing what kind of dessert cups they are?
Hi Julia! I only have a couple of them. The other few that I had broke during a move a few years ago 🙁 I was so bummed. I honestly cannot remember where I purchased them from. I would love more!
Hi Julia! You can get these desert cups at Kroger in the housewares section or a JayC store which is an affiliate of Kroger. They cost very about $2.99 for four.
could you add maraschino cherries to it
Marie - of course you can! They will make the mixture turn a bit pink that's all. Just do your best to pat them dry before gently stirring them in 🙂
Can I use homemade whipped cream?
Love this fluff recipe! Quick and easy! I added Malibu coconut rum to mine and it is so so delicious!
Yum!! Love it Suzie!
Can you sub homemade whipped cream for the cool whip?
Joy, homemade whipped cream is not as stable as COOL WHIP and will separate. You could certainly try it, but just make sure to eat it the same day it is made.
Can you make it the night ahead?
Yes 🙂
Can you use marshmallow fluff instead of regular marshmallows?
I say No, totally not the same texture!
Can you use cook and serve pudding instead?
You want to use instant in the recipe.
How many points per serving
This recipe looks so good and easy! Love every bit of it ????????????
This is so delicious! The entire family loved it!
I throw mandarin oranges into this fluff and everyone seems to like that way. I drain them though I use 1 to 2 little cans or one big can (15oz) if you can find.
I'm excited to make this, but I hate marshmallows!
Any ideas on what to substitute??
I’m sure you cld use cream cheese instead of marshmallows correct?
Is there a nut I could use in lieu of pecans that would still taste great?
Maybe walnuts
