Easter Fruit Fluff

Easter is all about the food and easter egg hunt. But I do love the idea of including this vintage recipes that reminds me so much of my grandma.

She definitely made the best fruit fluff and we loved the fact that she allowed us to put on extra marshmallows much to my mom’s dismay. We always seemed to leave their on a sugar buzz.

My mom liked to remind us that this was not the case when she was growing up. If you need easy party food ideas or these Easter oreo truffles go and take a look!

Recipe Tips And Variations

I’ve added some tips if you are new to making fluff. It’s not hard to make but these tips will be worth the read.

• Canned goods are well drained. The syrups or liquids that the fruit is canned with needs to be removed.
• Whip the cream until soft peaks. You want the cream to be light and airy.
• Don’t overmix. Gently fold the ingredients in as the cream can deflate.
• Chill the dessert. It is best to chill it for at least 1-2 hours.

Storage

• Make ahead – You can make this 24 hours in advance and then store it in the fridge.
• Store – It can be kept in the fridge for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
• Freeze – I don’t recommend freezing this fluff
