Ingredients

Base

  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened

Fruit & Mix-ins

  • 8 ounces (225g) canned crushed pineapple
  • 8 ounces (225g) canned mandarin oranges
  • 2 cups (120g) fruit-flavored mini marshmallows

Serving

  • Vanilla wafers for serving
  • Optional toppings: additional marshmallows (Peeps), jelly beans, or egg-shaped chocolate candies

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring a fluffy and stable base for the fluff.
  2. Combine Cream Cheese: Beat the softened cream cheese into the whipped cream until fully combined and smooth, creating a creamy mixture.
  3. Fold in Fruits and Marshmallows: Gently fold in the canned crushed pineapple, mandarin oranges, and fruit-flavored mini marshmallows, incorporating all ingredients evenly without deflating the mixture.
  4. Chill: Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the fluff to firm up slightly.
  5. Serve: Garnish with optional toppings such as Peeps, jelly beans, or egg-shaped chocolates. Serve the fluff with vanilla wafers for dipping or spoon into individual bowls.

Notes

  • Use fully softened cream cheese for smooth blending.
  • Gently folding ensures the fluff remains airy and light.
  • Chilling improves texture and flavor integration.
  • Customize toppings to match festive themes or personal preferences.
  • Can be made a few hours ahead and kept chilled until serving.
