Easy Pineapple Fluff
With only a few ingredients, this light and creamy Easy Pineapple Fluff comes together in just a few minutes and is the perfect dessert for spring!
Pin it NOW to save it for later!
With warmer weather just around the corner and Easter in just a few weeks, I thought now was the perfect time to share this Easy Pineapple Fluff. I think this salad/dessert is a staple in recipe boxes around the country, and it’s really just another variation of this Cranberry Orange Fluff. All you need to do is swap out the pudding flavors and the fruits and you’re good to go – the flavor combinations are endless.
Here, I used vanilla pudding, crushed pineapple, Cool Whip, marshmallows, and shredded coconut. You could (should!!) also add in chopped pecans, which I highly recommend. I placed some on top for the photos because the recipe is really better with them, but I didn’t stir them throughout, because I am the only one in my family who eats nuts and I didn’t want to eat this entire recipe myself. 😉
I love the cheerful yellow color of this pineapple fluff – it just says spring to me!
I’m not sure why I don’t make these fluffs more often; my son ♥️ loves ♥️ them and they are just so darn easy to make. My grandmother always made these types of desserts (salads?) for every event when I was growing up – I didn’t care for them much then, but I love them now. And serving them at my own holiday table reminds me of my childhood. ❤️

Hello There!
Interestingly enough, I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking.  In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.
