This Pineapple Fluff is a classic, nostalgic “dessert salad” that’s light, airy, and bursting with tropical flavor. Using the pineapple juice to dissolve the instant pudding creates a stable, flavorful base that perfectly holds the fluffy marshmallows and crunchy pecans. It’s ideal as a side for summer barbecues or a lighter option for holiday desserts.
