Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 182kcal
Ingredients
- 20 ounce crushed pineapple in juice undrained
- 3.4- ounce instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons chopped pecans ½ cup for the filling and 2 tablespoons for garnish
- 8 ounces Cool Whip thawed
Instructions
- Add the undrained crushed pineapple to a medium mixing bowl (2 to 3 quarts), then sprinkle the instant pudding mix over the top and stir until fully combined.
- Stir in the miniature marshmallows, shredded coconut, and ½ cup of the chopped pecans, setting aside the remaining pecans for garnish.
- Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the mixture until it is smooth and evenly blended.
- Cover and refrigerate the pineapple fluff for 2 hours before serving so the flavors can come together, keeping it chilled until ready to serve, then sprinkle the reserved pecans on top just before serving and add a cherry if you’d like.
Notes
- Do not drain the crushed pineapple, as the juice is needed to properly combine with the pudding mix.
- Fold the mixture gently and avoid overmixing so it stays light and fluffy rather than becoming thin or soupy.
