Description
A refreshing pineapple fluff dessert that combines creamy textures, juicy pineapple, and a delightful crunch from pretzels.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup crushed pretzels
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 large can crushed pineapple with juices (20 oz)
- 1 small package instant vanilla pudding
- 8 oz. whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 large can pineapple tidbits (20 oz)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pretzel Crust: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a medium bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar. Mix it well and transfer into a 9″ x 9″ baking pan. Press the mixture firmly into the pan and bake for about 7–8 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and cool completely.
- Prepare the Pineapple Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, crushed pineapple (with liquid), and instant vanilla pudding. Beat until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping until combined.
- Assemble the Dessert: Spread the pineapple mixture over the cooled pretzel crust. Stir in pineapple tidbits, then sprinkle broken pretzel crust pieces over the top. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight to chill.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. For a healthier version, use low-fat cream cheese and a sugar substitute.
