pineapple-fluff-dessert

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (including the juice) and pudding mix. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
2. Gently fold in the marshmallows, whipped topping, and coconut. Don’t overmix to keep it fluffy!
3. Transfer to a serving dish and spread evenly.
4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and set.
5. Garnish with extra coconut or fresh mint before serving.

Pro Tip: Draining the pineapple slightly before adding it helps prevent a watery dessert. Use a gentle hand when folding in the marshmallows and whipped topping.
