Pineapple Fluff

Step 3: Combine Pineapple and Marshmallows

1. In a separate bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple and miniature marshmallows.
2. Gently stir to coat the marshmallows with pineapple juice.

Optional: If you like a slightly more liquid texture, add 1–2 tablespoons of reserved pineapple juice.

Step 4: Mix Everything Together

1. Gently fold the pineapple and marshmallow mixture into the cream cheese and whipped topping mixture.
2. Mix until evenly distributed, but be careful not to deflate the fluff.

Step 5: Chill the Dessert

1. Transfer the Pineapple Fluff into a serving dish or individual dessert cups.
2. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours (overnight is even better).

Tip: Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften slightly, creating a creamy, cohesive texture.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

1. Before serving, optionally garnish the Pineapple Fluff with maraschino cherries, a sprinkle of shredded coconut, or a few pieces of crushed pineapple for extra visual appeal.
2. Serve chilled with a spoon and enjoy the sweet, tropical goodness!

Variations and Tips

• Tropical Twist: Add a handful of diced mango or mandarin oranges for extra fruitiness.
• Crunchy Version: Mix in some crushed pineapple-flavored wafer cookies or crushed graham crackers for texture.
• Diet-Friendly: Substitute full-fat whipped topping with a lighter version and use low-fat cream cheese to reduce calories without sacrificing flavor.
