Step-by-Step Instructions
The first step in making this delicious Cool Whip Pineapple Fluff is to prepare the pineapple. Pour the can of crushed pineapple into a strainer and let it drain for about 15 minutes. This is really important; we want to avoid a watery dessert, and the extra time will help achieve that wonderful creamy texture. While it drains, grab your mixing bowl and beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and fluffy. You can almost smell the creaminess wafting through the kitchen!
