This sweet and refreshing fluff combines juicy crushed pineapple, fluffy whipped topping, soft marshmallows, and shredded coconut for a perfectly balanced dessert that melts in your mouth. It’s ideal for summer gatherings, potlucks, holidays, BBQs, or whenever you want a quick tropical treat without turning on the oven.
INGREDIENTS
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, well drained
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup whipped topping, thawed
½ cup chopped macadamia nuts (optional)
Maraschino cherries and pineapple slices for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, add the drained crushed pineapple, sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, mini marshmallows, and macadamia nuts if using, then stir until evenly combined.
Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture becomes smooth and fluffy, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer the fluff to a serving bowl or portion it into individual dessert cups for easy serving.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend and the texture to set properly.
Before serving, garnish with maraschino cherries and pineapple slices for a classic tropical finish.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Drain the pineapple very well to prevent excess liquid from thinning the fluff.
Chill the dessert thoroughly for the best texture and flavor.
For extra coconut flavor, lightly toast the shredded coconut before mixing.
This dessert can be made a day ahead, making it perfect for parties and events.
