Hawaiian Pineapple Coconut Fluff
Nothing beats a refreshing, creamy, and completely idyllic dessert to take you away to an island paradise when the weather warms up. All of those refreshing criteria are met and more by our Hawaiian Pineapple Coconut Fluff!We’re talking about a light, airy layer of sweetened coconut pudding that’s been whipped with bits of tropical maraschino cherries, crushed pineapple, and toasted macadamia nuts for that ideal crunch. After that, it’s topped with fluffy marshmallows and delicious whipped cream for a texture that’s right out of a dessert paradise.
Plus, what’s great? You don’t even need to turn on the oven for this really simple tropical treat. All it takes to make this spoon-licking paradise is a few quick stirs to combine those comforting, holiday-worthy tastes.
The first step is to make a coconut pudding foundation using sweetened condensed milk, crushed pineapple juices, and instant pudding mix. All those weird and wonderful mix-ins are well complemented by the delicious tropical sweetness.
The coconut-pineapple pudding cloud encases sweet micro marshmallows, tart maraschino cherries, and toasted macadamia nuts with a buttery crunch. Once everything has cooled to a delicious, creamy consistency, a generous layer of whipped topping covers everything, sealing the deal.
After it sets, every mouthful is a delicious reminiscence of tropical flavors. Everything about the textures! How delightful! The carefree, fruity undertones that put you in a good mood. The combination of the ambrosia salad from your youth with the exotic flavors of coconut, pineapple, and macadamia nuts elevates it to the level of a sophisticated dessert.
