Ingredients
Scale
Base Mixture
- 3.4 oz cheesecake instant pudding mix
- 1 tbsp strawberry jello powder
- 8 oz Cool Whip
Fruits & Add-ins
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 20 oz crushed pineapple, juice drained and squeezed out
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cool Whip, cheesecake instant pudding mix, and strawberry jello powder. Beat the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and fully blended, creating a creamy base.
- Add Pineapple: Incorporate the crushed pineapple into the mixture and beat again to ensure everything is evenly mixed, infusing the fluff with tropical sweetness.
- Fold in Add-ins: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, shredded sweetened coconut flakes, and sliced strawberries. This helps maintain their texture without breaking them down.
- Chill to Set: Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate the fluff for at least one hour, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up for serving.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the pineapple juice is thoroughly drained to avoid excess moisture in the fluff.
- You can prepare this dessert a day ahead; it stores well and the flavors improve after chilling overnight.
- Fresh strawberries should be sliced evenly to distribute flavor and texture throughout the fluff.
- Use whipped topping like Cool Whip for convenience, or substitute with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
- This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
