Tropical Pineapple Fluff Delight Dessert (Print version)

A creamy no-bake tropical pineapple fluff delight dessert with crushed pineapple, whipped topping, and mini marshmallows, ready in 10 minutes plus chilling.

# Ingredients:

For the fluff

01 - 1 (20 oz / 560 g) can crushed pineapple, undrained

02 - 1 (3.4 oz / 96 g) package instant vanilla pudding mix

03 - 1 (8 oz / 225 g) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

04 - 1 1/2 cups (75 g) mini marshmallows

For the toppings

05 - 1/2 cup (40 g) sweetened shredded coconut (optional)

06 - 1/2 cup (60 g) chopped pecans (optional)

07 - 1/4 cup (60 g) maraschino cherries, drained and halved (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Pour the undrained crushed pineapple into a large bowl and sprinkle the dry pudding mix over it. Stir for about two minutes until the mixture thickens and looks smooth.

02 - Fold in the mini marshmallows and shredded coconut if you are using it. The marshmallows will soften slightly as the dessert chills.

03 - Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pineapple mixture until no streaks remain. Use a rubber spatula and a light hand so you do not deflate the fluff.

04 - Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour so the pudding can fully firm up and the flavors blend together.

05 - Spoon into individual bowls and top with chopped pecans and maraschino cherries if desired. Serve cold straight from the fridge.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served cold within two days of making.

02 - Can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead.
