Ingredients

Fruit Medley

  • Pineapple (fresh or well-drained canned), chopped – about 1 cup
  • Mandarin oranges, peeled and segmented – about 1 cup
  • Strawberries, sliced – 1 cup
  • Grapes, halved – 1 cup

Creamy Base

  • Whipped topping (marshmallow crème or whipped cream) – 1 cup
  • Vanilla pudding mix (instant) – 1 package (3.4 oz)
  • Marshmallow crème – ½ cup

Additional Ingredients

  • Mini marshmallows – ½ cup
  • Shredded coconut (optional) – ¼ cup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Wash and drain all your chosen fruits thoroughly. Peel mandarins if needed and slice larger fruits like strawberries into bite-sized pieces for easy serving.
  2. Mix the Creamy Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whipped topping with the vanilla pudding mix and marshmallow crème, folding everything gently until smooth and fluffy. This creates the sweet, airy base that defines the salad’s signature texture.
  3. Combine Fruit and Fluff: Fold the prepared fruit into the creamy mixture carefully, ensuring an even spread of fruit throughout. Add mini marshmallows and shredded coconut if using, gently stirring just enough to mix without crushing the delicate fruit pieces.
  4. Chill Before Serving: Cover your salad and refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors meld together and the texture firm up slightly. This step also helps make the fluff more refreshing when served cold.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe fruit to enhance the natural sweetness without adding extra sugar.
  • Fold ingredients gently to keep the fluff light and airy; do not overmix.
  • Refrigerate adequately to improve texture and flavor infusion.
  • Serve salad cold for the best refreshing contrast.
  • Adjust sweetness by tasting before chilling and add a bit of honey or maple syrup if preferred.
