Easter Fruit Fluff is a light, creamy, and refreshing dessert packed with a medley of sweet fruits, cheesecake pudding, and mini marshmallows. This no-bake treat is perfect for Easter gatherings, spring celebrations, or any occasion where you want a simple, fruity, and delicious dessert. The combination of Cool Whip, cheesecake pudding, and juicy fruit creates a luscious texture with just the right amount of sweetness.

Ingredients

• 8-ounce tub of Cool Whip, thawed
• 1¼ cup instant cheesecake pudding, prepared
• 1½ cup crushed pineapple, well-drained
• 1 cup canned mandarins, drained
• 1 cup diced pears
• 1 cup diced peaches
• 10-ounce package of fruit mini marshmallows

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the thawed Cool Whip and prepared cheesecake pudding until smooth and well combined. The pudding adds a creamy, rich texture that holds the fluff together.

Step 2: Incorporate the Pineapple

Add the well-drained crushed pineapple to the Cool Whip mixture. Fold it in gently to prevent breaking down the pudding base while ensuring an even distribution of the fruit.

Step 3: Add the Remaining Fruits

Gently fold in the drained mandarin oranges, diced pears, and diced peaches. Stir carefully to keep the fruit pieces intact, maintaining their natural texture and shape.

Step 4: Fold in the Mini Marshmallows

Finally, add the fruit-flavored mini marshmallows and fold them in gently. These add a fun, chewy texture that complements the creamy base.

Step 5: Chill Before Serving

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the Easter fruit fluff for at least one hour to allow the flavors to blend and the marshmallows to soften slightly. Chilling also helps the pudding set properly, creating a fluffier consistency.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Once chilled, give the fluff a gentle stir before serving. Spoon it into individual cups or bowls and enjoy it cold.

Storage

• Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Stir before serving if needed.
• Freezing: Not recommended, as the fruit may release excess moisture, making the texture watery when thawed.

Tips for the Best Fruit Fluff

• Thaw the Cool Whip completely before mixing to ensure a smooth texture.
• Drain all canned fruit well to avoid excess liquid that could make the fluff too runny.
• Make ahead of time—letting the fruit fluff chill for a few hours or overnight enhances the flavors.
• Customize the fruit mix by adding bananas, grapes, or cherries for a personalized touch.
