Ingredients
Scale:
1 (20 oz) can of crushed pineapple, drained
1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened
1 cup of whipped cream or whipped topping
1 (3 oz) package of instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup of mini marshmallows (optional)
Shredded coconut (optional)
Chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) (optional)
Additional whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; this should take about 2 minutes on medium speed.
Gradually mix in the instant vanilla pudding mix until fully incorporated, ensuring there are no lumps for a silky-smooth texture.
Slowly fold in the drained crushed pineapple, ensuring that the pineapple is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Gently fold in the whipped cream or whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
If desired, mix in the mini marshmallows for added texture and sweetness.
Transfer the pineapple fluff into a serving bowl or individual cups. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Prior to serving, garnish with shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or extra whipped cream if desired. Serve chilled.
