In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with juice) and sweetened condensed milk.
Stir in vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Add shredded coconut, mini marshmallows, and chopped nuts if using. Gently stir to combine.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and the fluff set.

FAQ:
Can I make this fluff a day ahead?
Yes! In fact, it tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld overnight.
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
Yes, but make sure to use ripe, juicy pineapple and include some of its juice for the right texture.
Is it okay to freeze it?
It’s not recommended as freezing may change the texture of the whipped topping and marshmallows.
