Units Scale

For the Easter Fruit Fluff:

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained

  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with the cold milk until smooth and slightly thickened.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully combined. Stir in the crushed pineapple with its juice and the drained fruit cocktail. Add the mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans if using. Gently mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Chill and Serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend. Garnish with pastel mini marshmallows or candy eggs just before serving, if desired.
