Pineapple fluff is an easy fruit salad to onlinepile!
We enjoyed the delicious pineapple & mandarin orange onlinebo, but you can adapt this dish using canned and fresh fruits your family likes. It also takes just 10 minutes or less to mix these simple ingredients together, so you’ll love how easy it is to make!
Here are a few recipe tips to keep in mind when making pineapple fluff fruit salad:
- There are quite a few ways to adapt pineapple fluff to what you have on hand: using vanilla yogurt instead of pudding, or I’ve even seen variations use sweetened sour cream. For the whipped base, I’m a fan of TruWhip, but you could use Cool Whip if preferred (or if that’s what you already have on hand).
- For more customization, adding chopped pecans or maraschino cherries would be great in this fluff! We loved adding sweetened shredded coconut, and highly reonlinemend it!
- There is a 2-hour chill time in the fridge for this pineapple fluff salad, but it’s so worth it and yummy served nice and cold! You can also prep this earlier in the day or the night before for convenience. Leftovers were still tasty a couple of days later when stored in a covered container in the fridge.
