Notes
- You can substitute coconut cream or cheesecake pudding mix for the vanilla pudding mix.
- Feel free to omit the marshmallows and coconut if you don't like the flavor or texture.
- Add in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or macadamia nuts to give the dessert some crunch.
- Add a teaspooon of rum extract to give Pineapple Fluff a pina colada flavor.
- Some people like to make pineapple fluff with pretzels mixed in for a sweet-salty crunch. To try this variation, mix together 1 cup of crushed pretzels, 1/2 cup melted butter and 1/2 cup of sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 7 minutes, then cool completely. Just before serving, mix the sweetened pretzel pieces into the pineapple fluff, reserving some to sprinkle over the top.
