Prepare the Pineapple: Begin by draining the can of crushed pineapple to remove excess liquid. This will help keep your fluff mixture from becoming too watery.
Mix the Pudding: In a large mixing bowl, mix crushed pineapple and pudding mix.
Add the whipped topping and stir until completely blended and the mixture is smooth.
Add in the Ingredients: Add the miniature marshmallows, shredded coconut, maraschino cherries and finely chopped pecans.
Chill in the Refrigerator: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together and ensures the fluff has the right consistency.
Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, give the mixture a good stir and serve in individual dessert dishes. Garnish with extra shredded coconut or a maraschino cherry on top for a decorative touch.
