Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 box vanilla pudding mix (Jell-O brand) Instant vanilla pudding mix works best for this no-bake recipe.
1.25 cups pineapple Crushed and very well-drained to prevent a watery salad.
8 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip) Thaw completely in the refrigerator before folding in.
8 oz marshmallows Miniature marshmallows are ideal for better distribution and texture.
1 cup coconut Sweetened shredded coconut adds extra flavor and chewiness.
0.5 cup nuts Chopped into 1/4-inch pieces for a pleasant crunch.
0.25 cup shredded carrots Provides a subtle color and freshness, perfect for an Easter theme.

Equipment

Large mixing bowl
Rubber Spatula

Method

In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with the well-drained crushed pineapple. Stir until just blended.
Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
Add the marshmallows, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, and shredded carrots to the bowl. Stir gently with a rubber spatula until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the Marshmallow Easter Fluff Salad for at least 1-2 hours before serving, allowing it to chill thoroughly and for the flavors to meld.

Notes

For an extra festive presentation, garnish with a few extra mini marshmallows, a sprinkle of toasted coconut, or a small carrot curl before serving. This salad is best enjoyed fresh and chilled.
