Follow these simple steps to create your delicious pineapple fluff dessert:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (including the juice) and instant vanilla pudding mix. Stir until well combined and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, whipped topping, and shredded coconut. Be careful not to overmix—this helps maintain the fluffiness.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and spread evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set and chill.
Before serving, garnish with extra shredded coconut or a sprig of fresh mint for a touch of elegance.
Pro Tips:
Drain the crushed pineapple well to prevent the dessert from becoming too watery.
Fold ingredients gently to keep the texture light and airy.
