Ingredients (Serves 10–12)

For the Fluff Base:

  • 225 g (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup (30 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 packet (96 g / 3.4 oz) instant cheesecake pudding mix (unprepared)
  • 375 ml (1½ cups) cold milk
  • 1 tub (225 g / 8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

Add-ins:

  • 1½ cups (75 g) pastel mini marshmallows
  • 1 can (565 g / 20 oz) crushed pineapple, well-drained
  • ½ cup (45 g) shredded sweetened coconut (optional for texture and tropical flavour)

Optional Garnishes:

  • Bunny-shaped marshmallows
  • Easter sprinkles
  • Pastel M&Ms or mini chocolate eggs
  • Peeps or other Easter-themed candies

Preparation:

1: Make the Cheesecake Fluff Base

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and beat again until fully incorporated and fluffy.
  3. Sprinkle the instant cheesecake pudding mix into the bowl and pour in the cold milk.
  4. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens.

2: Fold in Whipped Topping

  1. Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula until combined.
  2. The mixture should be light, fluffy, and creamy.

3: Add Fruit & Marshmallows

  1. Fold in the drained crushed pineapple, pastel mini marshmallows, and shredded coconut (if using).
  2. Mix just until evenly distributed — avoid overmixing to keep the fluff airy.

4: Chill & Garnish

  1. Transfer the mixture to a large serving bowl or trifle dish.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to let the flavours blend and allow the fluff to firm up.
  3. Just before serving, garnish with bunny marshmallows, Easter sprinkles, mini eggs, or Peeps for extra festive flair.

Variations:

  • Chocolate Bunny Fluff: Add mini chocolate chips or swirl in chocolate syrup.
  • Berry Bunny Fluff: Mix in chopped fresh strawberries or blueberries for colour and tartness.
  • Low Sugar Version: Use sugar-free pudding mix and light whipped topping.
  • Nutty Fluff: Sprinkle chopped toasted pecans or almonds on top for crunch.

Cooking Notes:

  • Ensure fruit is well-drained to prevent a watery texture.
  • Chill thoroughly for the best texture and flavour.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese for richness and stability.
  • Decorate just before serving to keep toppings fresh.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve in a large glass bowl or trifle dish for a beautiful Easter centrepiece.
  • Portion into individual cups or jars for party-friendly servings.
  • Pair with graham crackers or wafer biscuits for dipping.
  • Place mini marshmallow bunnies around the edge for a fun kid-friendly presentation.

Storage:

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Stir gently before serving if stored overnight.
  • Not suitable for freezing — the texture will change.

Tips for Success:

  1. Whip your cream cheese until super smooth for the silkiest texture.
  2. Chill overnight for deeper flavour and a firmer set.
  3. Add pastel sprinkles or mini eggs right before serving to prevent bleeding colours.
  4. For an extra flavour boost, add a few drops of vanilla or almond extract.
