Light, cloud-like, and kissed with sunshine—this Cool Whip Pineapple Fluff is pure Midsummer joy in a bowl. With just five ingredients and 10 minutes of prep, it’s the effortless crowd-pleaser that always disappears first. Creamy, fruity, and studded with marshmallow fluffiness, toasted coconut, and your beloved chopped pecans—it’s like a pineapple upside-down cake and ambrosia salad had a sweet, breezy baby.
🍍 “I brought this to our Fourth of July potluck—three people asked if I’d been up since dawn,” laughed one home cook. “I said, ‘Nope. I mixed it during the fireworks setup.’”
