Pina Colada Fluff
I’m currently sitting in my room at the the Little America hotel in Salt Lake City. I’m here for the Six Sisters Build Your Blog Conference and I couldn’t be more excited!
I’m kind of lucky to be sitting in this room because when I went to check-in, guess what? I didn’t have a reservation. Now I could have sworn I booked a room. Conference ticket – check. Flight booked – check. Room – check? How on earth did I forget something so important?!?
I was searching through my emails like a mad woman saying, “But I know I booked the room!” I’m clearly losing my mind.
Thank you Little America for getting me into a room straight away. Much appreciated. Now I have time to share a recipe with you that’s sure to brighten up your day: Pina Colada Fluff.
I made this up this last week to take up to my Dad’s house (as a thank you for his help with our beater car…) and I have to say it was AWESOME.
I needed something quick, something, easy, and something sweet – pina colada fluff it is!
I made this fluff with pineapple, coconut, vanilla pudding mix, marshmallows, pecans (totally optional) and a bit of rum extract to give it that true pina colada flavor. Sooo spectacular!
This dessert salad would be perfect for your next get together, potluck or picnic. It takes like two short minutes to pull together and just about that long for it to be inhaled.

Daneita Key says
How much real rum would I use vs rum extract?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
A similar amount. You don’t want to add a bunch of liquid or it will be runny. That’s why I went with extract, a stronger rum flavor.
Leighton says
This might be a stupid question, but does rum extract have alcohol in it? I just want to be able to give it to my kids haha
Darlene Withrow says
No more than vanilla extract has probably.
