Ingredients

  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained

  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • Prepare the base:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and mini marshmallows (if using). Stir gently to mix.

  • Make the pudding mixture:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, whipped topping, and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) until smooth and well combined.

  • Combine the two mixtures:
    Gently fold the pudding mixture into the pineapple and coconut mixture, stirring until everything is fully incorporated.

  • Add lime juice (optional):
    Stir in the fresh lime juice for extra zest, if desired.

  • Chill the fluff:
    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  • Serve:
    Before serving, stir the fluff again and top with optional chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • To make the fluff lighter, swap the sour cream with Greek yogurt.

  • You can add other tropical fruits like mango, banana, or strawberries for an extra fruity twist.

  • The marshmallows are optional; they add a fun texture but can be omitted for a smoother consistency.

  • To make this vegan, use dairy-free whipped topping, coconut yogurt, and a plant-based vanilla pudding mix.
