Ingredients
  

For the Fluff Base
  • 6 ounces lemon jello Provides that vibrant zing that makes this dessert irresistible.
  • 2 cups boiling water Essential for dissolving the jello, ensuring a smooth consistency.
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened Adds a rich creaminess that balances the tangy lemon flavor.
  • 20 ounces crushed pineapple with juice Infuses a sweet, tropical touch that elevates the fluff.
For the Topping
  • 16 ounces whipped topping Lightens up the dessert; reserve 4 ounces for adorning the finished fluff.
  • 4 ounces whipped topping (reserved) Use this for a finishing touch, adding a lovely creaminess to each serving.

Equipment

  • medium-sized bowl
  • Large Bowl
  • hand mixer
  • whisk
  • Serving bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Dissolve the jello by placing it in a medium-sized bowl and carefully pouring in the boiling water. Whisk until fully dissolved, then set it aside to cool, about 20 minutes.
  2. Mix the softened cream cheese and crushed pineapple in a large bowl. Use a hand mixer on low speed to begin, and gradually increase to medium-high. Blend for about one minute until everything is beautifully combined.
  3. Combine the cooled jello liquid with the cream cheese and pineapple mixture. Start with the hand mixer on low speed and then turn it to medium until well-blended—just a few more seconds of mixing will do the trick.
  4. Fold in 12 ounces of Cool Whip. Again, use your hand mixer, starting on low speed and quickly moving to medium-high for about two minutes. The mixture should be light and fluffy!
  5. Chill the mixture by pouring it into a large glass serving bowl. Cover it with cling wrap, then let it chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours or until you're ready to serve.
  6. Optional: Garnish with a dollop of the reserved whipped topping for added creaminess!

Notes

Allow the jello to cool to room temperature before mixing to avoid curdling the cream cheese when combined. Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier blending, which will help prevent lumps in your Lemon Fluff. Allowing the Lemon Fluff to set for at least four hours is crucial—it gives the flavors time to meld, creating a more delicious final dessert.
