Ingredients
  

1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained

1 cup mini marshmallows

1 cup whipped topping (thawed)

1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)

½ cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)

½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Prepare Pineapple: Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to remove excess liquid. You can use a fine-mesh strainer for better results. Set aside.

    Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained pineapple, mini marshmallows, cottage cheese, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts (if using).

      Add Flavor: Add the lime juice and vanilla extract to the mixture and gently fold everything together until well combined.

        Fold in Whipped Topping: Carefully add the whipped topping to the mixture, folding it in gradually to maintain the fluffiness. Make sure there are no visible streaks of whipped topping.

          Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the Pineapple Fluff for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and for the texture to set.

            Serve: After chilling, give it a gentle stir before serving. You can garnish with additional shredded coconut or a sprinkle of chopped nuts on top for an added festive touch.
