Easy Pineapple Fluff
We are full on into the dog days of summer. And that requires keeping the oven usage to a bare minimum. My kitchen is on the upper floor of my house so as soon as I turn it on, the upper floor heats up fast. So that means more Crock Pot meals and No-Bake Desserts that are simple but cool!
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.
It’s a fun recipe to play around with. Check out my notes at the end of the recipe for different combinations of flavor!
Ingredients:
1 (3.4 oz.) vanilla (or coconut cream) instant pudding mix*
1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapple (do not drain)
1 (8 oz.) container COOL WHIP, thawed
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, optional
½ cup chopped pecans
Directions:
In a large bowl, stir together pudding mix and the entire can of crushed pineapple.
In a large bowl, stir together pudding mix and the entire can of crushed pineapple.
Gently stir in Cool Whip, marshmallows, coconut and nuts.
Stir just until combined.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap.
Chill for a couple of hours before serving.
*Cook’s Notes: 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!
