Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 182kcal
Ingredients
- 20 ounce crushed pineapple 1 can, undrained
- 1 3.4-ounce box of vanilla instant pudding mix
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons chopped pecans ½ cup for the filling and 2 tablespoons for garnish
- 1 container 8 ounces thawed whipped topping (Cool Whip)
Instructions
- Add the undrained crushed pineapple to a medium mixing bowl (2-3 quarts). Sprinkle the instant pudding mix over the crushed pineapple. Stir to combine the pineapple and pudding mix completely.
- Add the miniature marshmallows, shredded coconut, and ½ cup of the chopped pecans. (Reserve the remaining pecans for garnish)
- Fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Chill the pineapple fluff in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Just before serving, sprinkle the reserved chopped pecans. You can also garnish with a cherry on top.
Notes
- Make sure you don’t drain the pineapple. You want all those yummy juices to combine with the pudding mix.
- You don’t want to whip the mixture or over-stir it, or it will deflate and become soupy instead of fluffy, so just fold everything together slowly.
