Hawaiian Fluff | Pineapple Coconut Dessert {No Cook!}

An easy no-cook dessert with full on Hawaiian flavors of coconut and pineapple…

 

 

I started this blog post on August 4, when I was in the US. Now I am back, and I haven’t even completed it or posted it. I am going to keep it as is for now, so that you can read through, and I will know that I had done this bit of procrastination. 😉 QUOTE: “Even though I make high promises to myself to be more disciplined and regular at this place, it isn’t meant to be. It has been very difficult to get back to being normal for a wide variety of reasons. Keeping all the negatives aside, the best thing to happen was a visit to my sister’s place. Yes, we are here after four years. It was a sudden spur of the moment decision, all that happened within the month of June. Exactly on the day we came last time, we arrived this time too – July 2. I had recorded quite a bit of my experiences in the blogposts I managed to do that time. This year around, my parents are here as well, so it is a house and a heart full. The last few months were a roller coaster of emotions, so this break is a very welcome change.

 

I may not agree politically with this country, but I must say that otherwise, this is a beautiful place, blessed with loads of nature in variety forms. This time, we did a visit to parts of Florida – which included Miami, Key West and Orlando, then Atlanta in Georgia and a small part of Tennessee, and by Allah, it was amazing. The nature, the climate, the mountains, the trails, the water, everything was mind-blowing, despite all the back and knee pain I had. 😀 Most of the days otherwise we are moving out to either explore places around or visiting friends, that I can’t be as much thankful as I can for this time that I am having… Do go through Instagram highlights to have a look. :)” UNQUOTE

 

Now let’s get to the present. If last time I have been baking a lot, this time, it has been very limited. Talk about everybody being on a diet. 😀 Thankfully, that is a good thing. I managed to keep my weight the same over these past 2 months. Hehe… But I still did get the opportunity to make a few new desserts, plus redo some of my favorites like these streusel bars. My sister insisted that I make the Pistachio Kunafa Tiramisu and I managed to make it last Thursday morning, just before moving out to the airport. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to click any of it, except this particular dessert I made when we had a few families home for dinner. Crappy pictures, yep, but the dessert was superb. I came across this link, shared it with my sister and she was like, if I thought it would taste good, then make it. The best part of this dessert is that it is no-cook, just mix and let it set, and you are ready to go. Alhamdulillah, most of our guests loved it and I was asked for the recipe. Isn’t that a great feeling always? 🙂

 

If you are wondering the name of the pudding – a fluff is any pudding which has whipped cream as its main base. The Hawaiin reference in this pudding are the pineapples and the toasted coconut, always a beautiful combination! Walmart already has a toasted coconut flakes pack on its aisles, but if you don’t get it, like in the UAE, then make sure to toast grated coconut in butter till nicely golden brown and super aromatic. Without much ado, let me get to the recipe, and urge you to try it for your next get-together. If you love pina colada, then this one is definitely for you…
