I've made this with Strawberries on the top layer and then blueberries in the bottom layer~ And the pineapple fluff like on this video for the middle layer (but I put it in those clear 9 oz. solo plastic cups) everyone just loved them!
Jello was good at advertising by putting simple and delicious recipes in home and cooking type magazines. I've enjoyed many of their recipes. Cool Whip has also been good at showing how to used their product.
A tip for those who are newer to cooking. It's easier to slice angel food cake with a serrated bread knife. Other serrated knives will also do a nice job. The serrated edge helps to cut through the top of the cake without compressing it. Use a gentle sawing motion it will cut through nicely and you don't have to press very hard.
I saw this recipe in a Kraft magazine, probably in about 2004ish. The angel food cake was ccut twice horizontally twice to make three layers. It was called Angel Lush. I have made many of these over the years. XOXO Suzan
Our family just mixes 1 can crushed pineapple (juice and all) with 1 small box of pistachio pudding well. Fold in 1 tub of thawed cool whip carefully so that it stays fluffy. Put in the fridge to cool for a couple hours or put into dessert bowls first. Thats all we ever did and its a quick, easy toss together. Enjoy!
Why not add flaked coconut to the crushed pineapple? I think I will do that. But then I tend to get carried away with recipes like this. I'd probably add maraschino cherries too....which would turn it into a pretty pink fluff. I might forget the angel food cake altogether!
Aunt Kitty Hashtag I think Cliff said so because he’s trying to figure out what is totally insane. I wanted to know the same thing. Wasn’t going to be rude about it but what is “totally insane“?
Amen ...I agree they need stop bitching. If they don't want the calories then don't eat sweets lol.pretty simple. .but dam back off and leave along the ones who likes sweets
I live in Canada, and we live have socialized medicine. Nevertheless, as the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. We pay for that healthcare (as bad as it is) with our taxes. When I go into emergency for a legitimate problem (the last time I went was because I had sustained a concussion), I get very angry when I see people who weigh 300+ pounds. While they're waiting to be seen by a doctor, they have gone to a vending machine and are eating a bag of chips or a chocolate bar. (The hospital is blameworthy here too, because I don't know why they have to have garbage like that available to patients.) Then, I find out that these obese people who are eating junk have come into the hospital because their diabetes is going out of control. Well, you could say that it's no skin off my nose. In fact, it is, because I am paying for the health care that they need. If they took better care of themselves, they wouldn't be such a drain on the system. As for reading these recipes, until we start reading them, we don't know what we're getting. I avoid processed foods for a couple of reasons. First, I will admit that I need to lose some weight. I take medication that causes weight gain, so I am fighting an uphill battle. Nevertheless, just to keep my conscience clear, I am very careful about what I eat. I also see a nutritionist on a regular basis. Right now, our current goal is to find sources of protein that don't cause weight gain. The nutritionist feels that my efforts to lose weight are causing me to get inadequate protein. Second, I have allergies to contend with, so I have to be super careful about things like MSG or sesame. Third, I am visually-impaired. When I am in a grocery store, I don't have the appropriate visual aids to help me read ingredients. Therefore, I do a lot of cooking from scratch. Tomorrow night, for example, I will be cooking navy bean soup. I have the dried navy beans here in my kitchen, so hopefully I will remember to soak them tonight, and I'll make the soup tomorrow. The only questionable ingredient in the soup is the hambone. Otherwisea in it are navy beans, lots of onions, peppercorns, a bay leaf, and water. Not exactly high in fat, and the protein for the most part comes from the beans. Tonight, we're having pasta Puttanesca. The only problem with this dish is that there is really no protein, unless I sprinkle some Parmesan on my portion. Therefore, for lunch, I will have raw vegetables with hummus. For breakfast, I had fresh raspberries with skim milk, and a slice of whole wheat toast with a teaspoon of butter. I don't use margarine, because my nutritionist suggested that using margarine on toast just like melting down Tupperware and spreading the result on your bread. That has put me off margarine for life😄

This was really wonderful! I added 2 Teaspoons of lemon to the can of pineapple stirred and let sit in refrigerator 1 hour. This brings out the tartness in the pineapple and gives it a zesty taste but you don’t taste the lemon.
try this one from 1970’s. one box pistachio pudding, 1 cup cool whip, i cup crushed pineapple and one cup mini marshmallows. chill and serve, it can be desert or a salad.
(: Thank you for this!!!!!..........☺ I just used the Jello pistachio & I was so disappointed of the taste! It was so artificial & it is modified! I was horrified especially being a brand that we always trusted!!!!! :( Do you use a better quality brand pistachio pudding????? Thanks!!!!! Have a great day!!!!!.................... ☺
This looks delish and I'm a big fan of pineapple! I was thinking while watching, you could easily turn this into a "banana split" if you took some bananas, and some strawberries, and layered them, and then heavily drizzled some chocolate syrup over the top! Might have to try that too! Thanks for the recipe and for the ideas too!
I really love this! I'm always looking for deserts for my dad who is diabetic and this one is so easy to edit for him. His favorite used to be pineapple upside down cake so this will be great.
@@cathy9160 that's really uncalled for and she even said it would be easy to edit the recipe so it would be ok for him to eat despite being diabetic. So rude.
Hello, Dana. My dad was a diabetic as well. I don't recommend this dessert for him because the Angel Food cake is loaded with sugar. I know the young lady used a light whipped cream but for diabetics, the amount of sugar in a normal angel food cake is still too much for them. Cheers. 🍰
Annabelle Dee I have made this with sugar free angel food cake, sugarcfree cool whip and sugar free pudding and sugar free crushed pineapple or at least no sugar added pineapple and my mom, who is diabetic, can eat it.
we do the cream cheese whip topping 7 up salad u ever had that , i think lime jellow with seven up in it, with pecans on top. i really need to write down the family favs over the years, i will.
It reminds me of the Watergate salad/Green fluff (in the south)/Pineapple pistachio delight. ---- *** if you are unfamiliar w/it you will want to try it. It's a Holliday staple for my tiny family. *Pistachio pudding *Crushed pineapple *Coolwhip *Miniature marshmallows It's amazing stuff you do want to put it in the refrigerator for a few hours to get the marshmallows loosen up and fluff up it taste best that way.
This just reminds me of the good old days. I used to say that I could handle any disease out there as long as it's not diabetes. Of course I got diabetes in my forties and cancer as well. I loved my sweet things!!! And I had a fast metabolism so it wasn't strange for me to eat 5 or 6 candy bars a day on top of all my meals that contained tons of carbohydrates. I can't eat like that now but I say if you are young and healthy with a sweet tooth make this recipe and use the regular Cool Whip, it would make it taste better, I would know since I liked to eat it like ice cream. Anyone else do that?
Too cute, my kids call mine Strawberry Fluff ( I have made it with peaches or whatever fruit I have the desire for) I use a jello, make the coresponding jell-o to the fruit. Once it has set, I add in a cool whip and then after breaking/cubing up the angel food cake I fold it all together and even the fussy folk ( including my one daughter) love it every time. I don’t layer it, but I respect your process. My kids just asked me to make that ‘fluff’ again and that’s how my Fruit Fluff was born.
My favorite Aunt would make a strawberry berry fluff for me when I was a girl until my adult hood. You are very sweet and comforting to me like my aunt was. Thank you!
Gâteau de Nantais (gat-ton De no-tay) is what my grandmother called it. She used a lemon or orange Chiffon cake very close to an Angel food cake. Lots of eggs but uses a yolk batter folded into the stiff egg whites she added Rum & Almonds to frosting and used heavy whipping cream whipped to stiff peaks. It's tedious if you whip the cream too much it becomes butter. cool whip is way easier. Frosting works with pound cake too cut in thin layers. It's wonderful, light, not too sweet.
I use buttermilk not cottage cheese as its lumpy texture. My mom started making it since late 70s. she recently found Jello recipe booklet from 1960s and I love it.
Ooo! I like the looks of this! And I also was impressed with those Dollar Tree items you were using. Using a bowl that only costs a dollar is no big deal if someone forgets to return it!
I love pineapple and angel food cake. I am diabetic and I can eat it moderation. I use real whipped cream instead of cool whip though. Thanks for sharing!!
I might agree, but 1) it would make this not a low-calorie dish, and 2) for the record, I have tried this with pound cake and I found the cake didn’t hold up as well as angel food does. It gets kinda mealy and soggy. Just my opinion.
@@scarlettvale617 yes pound cake wont hold up with having extra liquids on it. Its a butter cake. Angel food is technically a sponge cake. And sponge cakes are used in recipes that call for layering things like creams, milks, and syrups because they can hold up their shape withoit dizzolving. Tres leches cake with the sweet milk on the bottom layer is my favorite and its usually a sponge cake.
@@scarlettvale617 ummm sorry darlin there's nothing about this that's low calorie. I do agree with you though it would be soggy. Maybe like making individual plated desserts, putting it together right before serving. I'm southern I loveeeeee anything that involves butter.😂😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️
@@texasjaco9385 sugar-free pudding, lite Cool Whip, fat-free angel food cake? I think it’s considerably lower in calories than a lot of desserts! BTW, I make mine with all these ingredients, and I truly cannot taste the difference from full sugar ingredients. I do usually add pecans to it for a little something extra, and have also topped with chopped strawberries. Really, you can make this to suit yourself any way you like!
This dessert is awesome. When I do it, I will put 2 spoonful of filling on the bottom first. Your peace on the bottom are dry. Also, it will be super soak that angel cake pieces with milk or few drops of rum liquor to give more flavor.
I make a similar recipe.....we call it Jello Fluff! Lol....Cool Whip, crushed Pineapple, Mandarine Oranges, and Orange Jello powder.....tradition for Thanksgiving now for 30 years.....never thought about the cake though....,,a must try now! Lol....looks delicious!!!!
ON THIS I WILL MAKE IT AS SHE DID BUT WITH A SMALLER TWIST 😄 EACH LAYER WILL BE A DIFFERENT FRUIT ! PINEAPPLE LAYER ..... BANANA PUDDING LAYER....... STRAWBERRY LAYER ........
Been making this basic recipe for years, and you’re right, everyone does love it! My favorite is with cheesecake pudding mix, adding strawberries and/or mandarin oranges. I call it Dreamy Delight!
Easy trifle! Slicing the cake in half horizontally and icing wit this is,also good. I did this for a friend's birthday, covered the top with fresh fruit and it was awesome. Nothing was left cause it's cool and light. Thanks for reminding me.
I use vanilla pudding mix in my choc chip cookie recipe... It can substutite the white sugar with it. Softest and stay softest cheesy choc chip cookies EVER
I’ve made this using purchased pound cake(the 5”x8” size). The cake is cut horizontally into 3 layers. The pineapple fluff is spread between the layers and is the frosting on the exterior of the whole cake. I think the pineapple fluff would good just as a pudding not just a frosting.
I have tried this before but with a little twist to it and it's very good, you can also use Mandarin oranges and maybe sprinkle a few little nuts on top use your imagination and there won't be any left out guarantee that
I make carmel apple one ... Add 5 to6 apples cut in small bite size peices. I normally use granny smith or honey crisps A can or 2 crushed pinapple 1 or 2 packages of carmel instant putting 1 bag of crushed peanuts 1 or 2 whipped topping Combine instant pudding and pudding (juice and all )and apples mix well and add crushed peanuts to the mixture and enjoy I dont like the peanuts in mine mixture so I add the nuts on the top ..let me know if you like it
Thank you for your video and that looks delicious. I believe that I will try to make your fluff cake one day because I love pineapples, angel food cake, and the other ingredients. You made it real quick and easy to do. You did a great job. Thank you and God Bless you and your family. Spec. V.B.
I use sf pistachio instant pudding and add the tidbit pineapples, and mix add i tub of light cool whip, add one cup pistachios, one cup pecans, one cup walnuts, and one cup small marshmallows. Angel food cake is almost all sugar, not good for diabetics.
Nice job will try your recipe.Thanks for sharing for spring coming up now.🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍.I will decorate it with chunks of pineapple
My family's version of this is: cook the pudding like normal. Before it's cooled, layer the pudding, cake, and cool whip separately, and chill overnight, so the cake absorbs the pudding while it's warm and firms up before getting soggy. The mouth feel of that cake with pudding absorbed in it is AMAZING!
If you want to put a twist to it... use a grahm cracker crust pie shell put the filling in and fridge for and hour. My sister makes hers that way. But i am going to try your way cause its making my mouth water.
this looks delicious... I'm gonna do.it totally SF. the pineapple in its own juice, SF pudding and SF Cool Whip...then SF Angel February Food Cake... I'm so excited, I haven't eaten sugar in over 14 years...
3 year's later😂 November 2020. I'm going to do it with 🍓 for 🎄. I'm already doing better than sex cake and lemon cake for Thanksgiving. Happy Holidays 2020🎵🎼🎶😊 Crazy year that's for sure.
We call it pineapple fluff without the cake and without the pudding. No matter what you call it, your dessert wouldn't sit around long in our house. Looks good!
I make this and use marshmallows instead of the angel food cake I don't use all of the pineapple and sometimes I add pecans but I will have to try this looks yummy
I love this!!! Will definitely be trying this dessert. Never had it before. I like that it's easy, quick, and doesn't require many ingredients. It's something I can whip up in a jiffy.
Its called Angel Lush. Been making it for years. I got the recepie from the Kraft magazine. I cut it into 3 layers and use the fluff(with only one container of whipped cream) inbetween and top then decorate with slices of strawberries. Same ingredients, different presentation. I've used coconut or banana pudding too. Super impressive looking but so simple. And YUMMY! Never thought to cut up. That's pefect for potluck or gatherings.
I have been making this cake, my doctor told me about it. The only this different is the pudding, I will try it with the pudding. I make it like a layer cake. Thanks for posting.
This looks delicious! I can’t wait to make it. Thank you for sharing! I made it, and it is absolutely delicious! I used crushed pineapple, and I think next time I’ll add 2 cans. We like a lot of pineapple flavor. 🤗
I have used the sugar free cool whip, sugar free angel food cake, sugarcfree pudding and no sugar added crushed pineapple because my mom has diabetes and has a massive sweet tooth. Not sure of the amount of sugar that is still in it but at least it wont put her in a diabetic coma. And if I actually get a serving then it's a good day, lol.
Thanks for the recipe. Perhaps you won't say it because you're nice, but please block the b*tches. If they want to eat celery sticks and drink water all day, DON'T watch the video and comment.
@Monica B You have me laughing so hard I'm crying..... Now my abs hurt too... LOL I was going to wait till tonight but since reading this I think I'll go into my frig and slice a piece of a chocolate cake that has raspberry filling and toasted coconut all over it that I made on Fri and eat the shit out of it, LMAO!!! Yep, still laughing....
You can also use cherry or strawberry (sugar free) pie filling with the pudding! This is a great diabetic recipe! I am a type 1 and angel food cake is very allowed
This looks AMAZING! We already have desserts ready for today but you can bet I will be trying it next week! When I saw all of the little bits left in the cake pan I wanted to shout "Can I have that?" lol, I love that part of a angel food cake - I'm also a bit of a weirdo ;) Ooo, I might add some cherries too. I can see how you could really fancy it up if needed... put the fluff in a big piping bag and go to town. Ooooo girl! Thank you so much for sharing this and Happy 4th! xoxo
PinkProzac16 Yep you can go as fancy or fattening as you want lol. Some people use vanilla cake and add the cherries and I thought about doing it with strawberries instead of pineapple. Yum! Let me know how you like it!
Or cut top off cake pull out center of cake break into pieces stir into jello and pineapple (you can use chocolate pudding add cake bits or strawberry jello add strawberries do a firm set add cake bits stir and stuff cake put on top frost with whip cream. You can buy a loaf size angle cake and make a smaller version of the stuffed cake.
Thanks Honey Love it going to make this Pinapple Pudding Dewhicky Cakey Thingy soon! I cant wait to make its easy and looks delicious how can you go wrong wkth coolwhip! THANKS A MILLION
This is like a Trifle without the jelly layer. I'd put a thin layer of sliced almonds between the cake, I'd use a good pound cake sprinkled with Grand Marnier or Chambord, and Bird's Custard instead of the instant pudding- which has a weird after taste. I'd use stabilized whipped cream then refrigerate covered overnight so it gets really delicious.
I've made this with Strawberries on the top layer and then blueberries in the bottom layer~ And the pineapple fluff like on this video for the middle layer (but I put it in those clear 9 oz. solo plastic cups) everyone just loved them!
This is such a retro, 1950's recipe! Anything "fluff" or made with jello was super popular.
I bet they originally used Dream Whip. Love jello recipes. Such a comfort food.
My mom made it for my sister's wedding in 1960. Strawberry and lemon. It used whipped milnot.
Jello was good at advertising by putting simple and delicious recipes in home and cooking type magazines. I've enjoyed many of their recipes. Cool Whip has also been good at showing how to used their product.
@@rubyanderson8800 What is milnot? I've never heard of it.
Did you watch the video did you make it so then you complain about it

The serrated edge helps to cut through the top of the cake without compressing it. Use a gentle sawing motion it will cut through nicely and you don't have to press very hard.
Yesss! I wanted to say the same thing. Different knives for different cutting
Made something similar for years. Save a step. Just put crushed pineapple in bowl put pudding in and stir well with a fork. Always turns out fine 😊
This is also good. Cut cake in half and put fluff inside and then put other layer on top. , then frost with fluff. My mouth is drooling.
Yum!
That's always how my mother made to too. I haven't had it for years.
pearl trotter that's what I was thinking
Thx!! I'm definitely trying that with Angel Food Cake.
That's what i thought she was going to do, but the way she made it looks good too!

This is totally insane. I made this exact same thing back in the 80's. Have also used strawberries or cherry pie filling.
SO!!!
@@ohcliff1030 rude f..k
Just like I used to do ice cream cookies and now they sell them in the stores lol
Sounds good with the pie filling,but how lo cal is it than. I can't do pineapples.
Aunt Kitty Hashtag I think Cliff said so because he’s trying to figure out what is totally insane. I wanted to know the same thing. Wasn’t going to be rude about it but what is “totally insane“?
Why do people get on these recipes & complain about sugar & calories. No bodies breaking your arm to make it or eat it.
She does claim it is healthy though. And while better than most desserts, it isn't really healthy.
Amen ...I agree they need stop bitching. If they don't want the calories then don't eat sweets lol.pretty simple. .but dam back off and leave along the ones who likes sweets

This recipe sort of reminds of one I made years ago: Jello, Cool Whip, cottage cheese and pineapple, mix together and chill. Rather tasty.
Melt circus peanuts marshmallows in the hot jello.
Don't forget the canned mandarin oranges. Yummy!🍊 One of my favorite things in the world!!
Debra Conner I love canned mandarin oranges!!! I eat them right outta the can
Yes! I used to make that! Delicious!
I use buttermilk not cottage cheese as its lumpy texture. My mom started making it since late 70s. she recently found Jello recipe booklet from 1960s and I love it.
omg"🙆😋 my husband and grandchildren are going to Enjoy these desert thank you so much god bless you're a blessing 👵🙏👼
Ooo! I like the looks of this! And I also was impressed with those Dollar Tree items you were using. Using a bowl that only costs a dollar is no big deal if someone forgets to return it!
Anniefanny Charles I’m stickler for returning containers😝😆 I wouldn’t care if it only cost a dollar!👍🏻
I love pineapple and angel food cake. I am diabetic and I can eat it moderation. I use real whipped cream instead of cool whip though. Thanks for sharing!!
Looks good! Love pineapple, cool whip, puddings & Angle cake & low calorie desserts. Have 2 try it! Thanks 4 sharing!
We make pistachio fluff and fluff with orange jello mix that makes it taste like cream sickles at my work!!
Melanie Space I bet that is so good. orange would be so good!
please share the recipe for the orange jello one
That sounds soooo good!!
Yum!
Wtf man.... Where's your video lol. Sounds awesome 😜
I'm totally making this for my Family, Thanks for sharing 🍍
Pound cake would make this super duper good
I might agree, but 1) it would make this not a low-calorie dish, and 2) for the record, I have tried this with pound cake and I found the cake didn’t hold up as well as angel food does. It gets kinda mealy and soggy. Just my opinion.
@@scarlettvale617 yes pound cake wont hold up with having extra liquids on it. Its a butter cake. Angel food is technically a sponge cake. And sponge cakes are used in recipes that call for layering things like creams, milks, and syrups because they can hold up their shape withoit dizzolving. Tres leches cake with the sweet milk on the bottom layer is my favorite and its usually a sponge cake.
I'm going to try it
@@scarlettvale617 ummm sorry darlin there's nothing about this that's low calorie. I do agree with you though it would be soggy. Maybe like making individual plated desserts, putting it together right before serving. I'm southern I loveeeeee anything that involves butter.😂😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️
@@texasjaco9385 sugar-free pudding, lite Cool Whip, fat-free angel food cake? I think it’s considerably lower in calories than a lot of desserts! BTW, I make mine with all these ingredients, and I truly cannot taste the difference from full sugar ingredients. I do usually add pecans to it for a little something extra, and have also topped with chopped strawberries. Really, you can make this to suit yourself any way you like!
This dessert is awesome. When I do it, I will put 2 spoonful of filling on the bottom first. Your peace on the bottom are dry. Also, it will be super soak that angel cake pieces with milk or few drops of rum liquor to give more flavor.
I would put some sort of chopped nuts on top (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
My ma loved walnuts and would put them in alot of things including green stuff. (Pistachio fluff)
I make a similar recipe.....we call it Jello Fluff! Lol....Cool Whip, crushed Pineapple, Mandarine Oranges, and Orange Jello powder.....tradition for Thanksgiving now for 30 years.....never thought about the cake though....,,a must try now! Lol....looks delicious!!!!
ON THIS I WILL MAKE IT AS SHE DID BUT WITH A SMALLER TWIST 😄
EACH LAYER WILL BE A DIFFERENT FRUIT !
PINEAPPLE LAYER .....
BANANA PUDDING LAYER.......
STRAWBERRY LAYER ........
I would do half and half with pineapple and orange
Great idea! Or do a pinocolata...pineapple, coconut, and lime
@@maried3717 OMG YES!!🤤
I LOVE piña colada desserts!😍💜
The fluff recipe looks really good. I like the idea of it being made so diabetics can eat it. Will have to try.
Your name is my favorite character from Gilligan's Island. 🏝⛵🤗
I would add marichino cherries in the layers!😊🍍🍒🍰
Excellent suggestion!
Or how about fresh sliced strawberries? Yum! 😳
Lola Reh YES!!
That sounds delicious and it would look pretty too! I'm doing it! 😉
@@jillrayes6700 How did it cime out?
Been making this basic recipe for years, and you’re right, everyone does love it! My favorite is with cheesecake pudding mix, adding strawberries and/or mandarin oranges. I call it Dreamy Delight!
Oh that does sound delicious.
Sounds awesome! Thank you for sharing! 💖
Easy trifle! Slicing the cake in half horizontally and icing wit this is,also good. I did this for a friend's birthday, covered the top with fresh fruit and it was awesome. Nothing was left cause it's cool and light. Thanks for reminding me.
I use vanilla pudding mix in my choc chip cookie recipe... It can substutite the white sugar with it.
Softest and stay softest cheesy choc chip cookies EVER
JJ Cevering ....very interesting, I’m going to try it
Made it today, Delicious! So simple and tasty. I will definitely make this for the next potluck or family party
Fresh strawberries in between each layer would be really good and still healthy! Thanks for the idea
I added some cherries to the top and some toasted coconut to garnish very good dessert for any occasion
Try it with sugar free cheese cake pudding mix ! So good! Especially if you like cheesecake. Add blueberries and strawberries for a festive occasion!
I’ve made this using purchased pound cake(the 5”x8” size). The cake is cut horizontally into 3 layers. The pineapple fluff is spread between the layers and is the frosting on the exterior of the whole cake.
I think the pineapple fluff would good just as a pudding not just a frosting.
I have tried this before but with a little twist to it and it's very good, you can also use Mandarin oranges and maybe sprinkle a few little nuts on top use your imagination and there won't be any left out guarantee that
I make carmel apple one ...
Add 5 to6 apples cut in small bite size peices. I normally use granny smith or honey crisps
A can or 2 crushed pinapple
1 or 2 packages of carmel instant putting
1 bag of crushed peanuts
1 or 2 whipped topping
Combine instant pudding and pudding (juice and all )and apples mix well and add crushed peanuts to the mixture and enjoy
I dont like the peanuts in mine mixture so I add the nuts on the top ..let me know if you like it
Thank you for your video and that looks delicious. I believe that I will try to make your fluff cake one day because I love pineapples, angel food cake, and the other ingredients. You made it real quick and easy to do. You did a great job. Thank you and God Bless you and your family. Spec. V.B.
I use sf pistachio instant pudding and add the tidbit pineapples, and mix add i tub of light cool whip, add one cup pistachios, one cup pecans, one cup walnuts, and one cup small marshmallows. Angel food cake is almost all sugar, not good for diabetics.
This reminds me of a punch bowl cake. I think I would add some type of fruit filling on as a top layer 😉
That's exactly what it is
I serve this every thanksgiving as did my grandmother without cake but with pistachio pudding. It is loved by all.
Nice job will try your recipe.Thanks for sharing for spring coming up now.🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍.I will decorate it with chunks of pineapple
My family's version of this is: cook the pudding like normal. Before it's cooled, layer the pudding, cake, and cool whip separately, and chill overnight, so the cake absorbs the pudding while it's warm and firms up before getting soggy. The mouth feel of that cake with pudding absorbed in it is AMAZING!
This looks really good thank for sharing! Have a blessed day!💛☀️🌹
If you want to put a twist to it... use a grahm cracker crust pie shell put the filling in and fridge for and hour. My sister makes hers that way. But i am going to try your way cause its making my mouth water.
Watergate Salad - Pistachio, Cool Whip, Crushed Pineapple, unsalted chopped pecans, and miniature marshmallows.
@Dawn Green mine too
this looks delicious... I'm gonna do.it totally SF. the pineapple in its own juice, SF pudding and SF Cool Whip...then SF Angel February Food Cake... I'm so excited, I haven't eaten sugar in over 14 years...
I want to try this with strawberries on top
3 year's later😂 November 2020. I'm going to do it with 🍓 for 🎄. I'm already doing better than sex cake and lemon cake for Thanksgiving. Happy Holidays 2020🎵🎼🎶😊 Crazy year that's for sure.
We call it pineapple fluff without the cake and without the pudding. No matter what you call it, your dessert wouldn't sit around long in our house. Looks good!
Pineapple cream trifle. YUM! Gotta love Dollar Tree I just haul a bunch of stuff from there TFS 💜
My husband is diabetic. And I try making it for Valentines Day. It looks so delicious
I make this and use marshmallows instead of the angel food cake I don't use all of the pineapple and sometimes I add pecans but I will have to try this looks yummy
I love this!!! Will definitely be trying this dessert. Never had it before. I like that it's easy, quick, and doesn't require many ingredients. It's something I can whip up in a jiffy.
Thanks for sharing, gonna try this ! Looks delish. Someone said to use coconut cream pudding, YUM!
Its called Angel Lush. Been making it for years. I got the recepie from the Kraft magazine. I cut it into 3 layers and use the fluff(with only one container of whipped cream) inbetween and top then decorate with slices of strawberries. Same ingredients, different presentation. I've used coconut or banana pudding too. Super impressive looking but so simple. And YUMMY! Never thought to cut up. That's pefect for potluck or gatherings.
I’m going to try to make this and will give you credit I just subbed and shared thank you ✌️☮️❤️🌷
I have been making this cake, my doctor told me about it. The only this different is the pudding, I will try it with the pudding. I make it like a layer cake. Thanks for posting.
Barbara Goodale ...Lol. Sounds like you go to the Dr for more than med issues! Lol
Pineapple Trifle! Easy on the hips, YUMMY!!!
Awesome recepie and so fast thank you for sharing your recepie
This looks delicious! I can’t wait to make it. Thank you for sharing!
I made it, and it is absolutely delicious! I used crushed pineapple, and I think next time I’ll add 2 cans. We like a lot of pineapple flavor. 🤗
I made this recipe without the lite and low fat/sugar stuff. It turned out great! So those complaining, adapt and move on.
Yum, you are my hero....I can’t wait to try this!!!
I have used the sugar free cool whip, sugar free angel food cake, sugarcfree pudding and no sugar added crushed pineapple because my mom has diabetes and has a massive sweet tooth. Not sure of the amount of sugar that is still in it but at least it wont put her in a diabetic coma.
And if I actually get a serving then it's a good day, lol.
Thanks for the recipe. Perhaps you won't say it because you're nice, but please block the b*tches. If they want to eat celery sticks and drink water all day, DON'T watch the video and comment.
@fook you >> lolol
Equate Bond Amen.
@Monica B You have me laughing so hard I'm crying..... Now my abs hurt too... LOL I was going to wait till tonight but since reading this I think I'll go into my frig and slice a piece of a chocolate cake that has raspberry filling and toasted coconut all over it that I made on Fri and eat the shit out of it, LMAO!!! Yep, still laughing....
@Monica B zz4
You can also use cherry or strawberry (sugar free) pie filling with the pudding! This is a great diabetic recipe! I am a type 1 and angel food cake is very allowed
Do this with banana flavored pudding mix....layer with he pineapple fluff, cake and tropical fruit like banana, mango and kiwi
That sounds soooo good. I love tropical fruit, fresh as is or in a dessert such as this one. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for this recipe. I've been making Pineapple Fluff ever since I saw this video, and everybody at our church loves it.
This looks AMAZING! We already have desserts ready for today but you can bet I will be trying it next week! When I saw all of the little bits left in the cake pan I wanted to shout "Can I have that?" lol, I love that part of a angel food cake - I'm also a bit of a weirdo ;) Ooo, I might add some cherries too. I can see how you could really fancy it up if needed... put the fluff in a big piping bag and go to town. Ooooo girl! Thank you so much for sharing this and Happy 4th! xoxo
PinkProzac16 Yep you can go as fancy or fattening as you want lol. Some people use vanilla cake and add the cherries and I thought about doing it with strawberries instead of pineapple. Yum! Let me know how you like it!
Or cut top off cake pull out center of cake break into pieces stir into jello and pineapple (you can use chocolate pudding add cake bits or strawberry jello add strawberries do a firm set add cake bits stir and stuff cake put on top frost with whip cream. You can buy a loaf size angle cake and make a smaller version of the stuffed cake.
I'm going to try this dessert out. Thank you for the recipe!
Love coconut cream pudding ,mmmmm good ! This looks really delicious too ! 👍💕🌹🌹🌹🌹🦋🌈👵🏻😺🐶✌️🖖👽🛸🌵🍀
Just saw your vid and I'm so going to make this dessert. Thanks for the recipe 😁
Thanks Honey Love it going to make this Pinapple Pudding Dewhicky Cakey Thingy soon! I cant wait to make its easy and looks delicious how can you go wrong wkth coolwhip! THANKS A MILLION
Anyone know if there’s any reason why real whipped cream can’t be used? Cool Whip isn’t even food.
Roxy Anny I don’t see why you couldn’t use real whipped cream, I would. I hate the taste of Cool Whip.
Mmmmmm I'm making this right now can't wait to have some later. Thanks for sharing the video 👍
This looks awesome, Can't wait to try it!
It's great with fresh strawberries, too. Awesome recipe 👍
Looks so good. I'm making this for Easter this year. Thank you for the recipe.
Good idea 👍
My Aunt used to make this and called it, "Cake in a Cloud"....we loved it growing up!!
Going to make this for Labor Day and top with strawberries and blueberries!
Thank you for this recipe,gotta get the husband to make it
I have wanted to use pudding mixes without using dairy and so I just love your idea. Thx for the inspiration. I won't forget this one.😍
I added the ingredients to my grocery order. My Momma is gonna love this! Thanks! Blessings all!!!!!
I get store bought sugar free angel food cake.
That's great. Less sugar 👍🏻
That looks good enough to eat... LOL
Thank you so much for sharing this...
I can't wait to try it...
I would sooooo turn this into a banana split dessert😋
Ohhh, great idea !
Susan Dixon I agree
Thank you for taking your time to share. I'd forgotten about this dessert from yrs ago and how much I liked it.
This looks so good! Thank you for this!
This is like a Trifle without the jelly layer. I'd put a thin layer of sliced almonds between the cake, I'd use a good pound cake sprinkled with Grand Marnier or Chambord, and Bird's Custard instead of the instant pudding- which has a weird after taste. I'd use stabilized whipped cream then refrigerate covered overnight so it gets really delicious.
