Gluten-Free Pineapple Fluff

Gluten-Free Pineapple Fluff

A retro-inspired, light & creamy dessert with tropical vibes! Only 4 ingredients, naturally GF, and ready in 5 minutes.

Ingredients (serves 6):

• 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple (in juice, not drained)

• 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix (ensure GF-certified)

• 2 cups (16 oz) whipped topping (Cool Whip or coconut whipped cream)

• 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional, for texture)

(Optional add-ins: toasted coconut, maraschino cherries, or chopped pecans!)

Instructions *(5 mins + chill time)*:

1. Mix pudding & pineapple

   • In a large bowl, whisk dry pudding mix into undrained pineapple (juice replaces milk!). Let thicken 2 mins.

2. Fold in fluff

   • Gently stir in whipped topping and marshmallows (if using).

3. Chill & serve

   • Refrigerate 1 hour (or enjoy immediately as a mousse!).

   • Top with toasted coconut or berries for flair.

Tips & Twists:

• Dairy-free? Use coconut whipped cream & GF vanilla pudding.

• Extra fluff? Fold in ½ cup cottage cheese for protein.

• Lighter version? Swap whipped topping for Greek yogurt.

Why it’s a hit: Sweet, tangy, and effortless—just like grandma made (but gluten-free)! 🍍✨

(P.S. For a boozy twist, add 1 tbsp rum or coconut liqueur!)
