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.

Do I have to make the pudding first or do I just mix it in like that?

Is the can of pineapple packed in juice or syrup,or does it make a difference?

In juice Rita and in my opinion, yes, it does make a difference.
