- 1 8-ounce (227 grams) container Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 box (3.4 ounces/96 grams) vanilla instant pudding mix

Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly blend the instant pudding powder with the entire crushed pineapple, ensuring a smooth, uniform consistency.

- Before serving, give the fluff a gentle stir to reinvigorate its pillowy texture and ensure all ingredients are well-distributed.
Notes

- Swap marshmallows with toasted coconut flakes for a more sophisticated texture and deeper tropical flavor profile.
- Use sugar-free pudding mix and low-fat Cool Whip to create a lighter, diet-friendly version of this delightful dessert.
- Toast pecans before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and provide a delicious crunch that complements the soft, creamy base.
