Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 20 ounces crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 package 3.4 ounces instant coconut cream pudding mix
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 container 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
  • Optional garnish: maraschino cherries pineapple chunks, or toasted coconut

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
  1. Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to remove excess liquid. This ensures the dessert remains fluffy, not watery.
Step 2: Mix the Base
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, instant coconut cream pudding mix, and shredded coconut. Stir until well blended.
Step 3: Add the Whipped Topping
  1. Gently fold in the whipped topping. Stir until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and evenly combined.
Step 4: Chill the Mixture
  1. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Chilling enhances the flavors and firms up the dessert.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
  1. Spoon the chilled fluff into individual dessert cups or a serving bowl. Garnish with maraschino cherries, pineapple chunks, or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for added flair.

Notes

  • Ensure Proper Draining: Press the pineapple lightly in a strainer to remove excess juice.
  • Customize Toppings: Swap cherries for fresh fruit or a drizzle of caramel for a creative twist.
  • Avoid Freezing: Freezing may compromise the dessert’s creamy texture.
