Ingredients
  

1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice, well-drained

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whipped topping (thawed)

1 cup mini marshmallows

½ cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, depending on preference)

½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Fresh pineapple chunks and mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

    Sweeten It Up: Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and smooth.

      Combine Pineapple: Gently fold the well-drained crushed pineapple into the cream cheese mixture. Ensure that the pineapple is evenly distributed throughout.

        Fluffy Addition: Carefully fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and airy, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream.

          Mix in Extras: Add the mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, and nuts (if using) to the mixture, stirring gently until just combined.

            Chill & Set: Transfer the fluff into a serving dish or individual cups. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld and the texture set.

              Serve & Garnish: Before serving, give the pineapple fluff a gentle stir, and garnish with fresh pineapple chunks and mint leaves if desired. Enjoy this refreshing and tropical dessert!
