Pineapple Fluff
My best friend Amy gave me this recipe for my bridal shower almost 5 years ago. I tried making it about 4 years ago and I did something wrong because there was no "fluff" so I gave it another shot and boy was it delicious!! I doubled this recipe to make in a 9x13 pan.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup coarsley crushed pretzels
1/2 cup butter - melted
1 cup sugar
8 ounces cream cheese - at room temperature
1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple
1 tub (8 ounces) cool whip
1 1/2 cup coarsley crushed pretzels
1/2 cup butter - melted
1 cup sugar
8 ounces cream cheese - at room temperature
1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple
1 tub (8 ounces) cool whip
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Drain pineapple WELL.... squeeze out all the juice possible using a strainer. I let sit for over an hour too.
3. Mix together crushed pretzels, melted butter, and 1/2 C of sugar.
4. Evenly spread this mixture on the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. I lightly greased the pan. Bake for 6-7 minutes. Watch carefully because it will burn quickly.
5. In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese and 1/2 C sugar until creamy.
6. Stir in crushed pineapple and cool whip.
7. Spread over the pretzel crust.
8. Top with additional crushed pretzels if desired. I topped mine with some strawberries!
*Amy mentioned you can use reduced fat cream cheese and light cool whip if desired. You can also half the amount of butter and sugar and it's still great.
