Recipe Ingredients
- Canned crushed pineapple, undrained – finely chopped pieces of pineapple, packed in its own juice adds natural sweetness, tropical flavor, and a juicy texture to the fluff. The juice from the can is essential as it helps dissolve and activate the pudding mix, creating the creamy consistency that makes this dessert so delightful.
- Sugar free instant vanilla pudding mix – provides structure and creaminess while adding a subtle vanilla flavor that complements the pineapple. Using a sugar-free version keeps the Points low, making it a Weight Watchers-friendly option. You’ll want the 4-serving size packet of pudding.
- Light whipped topping – adds fluffiness and a light, creamy texture to the dessert. It also balances the tartness of the pineapple with a mild sweetness, making the fluff smooth and satisfying. Use whichever whipped topping you prefer, they can all be used interchangeably and have minimal effect on the Point count.
- Toasted unsweetened coconut, optional – though not necessary, it adds a nutty, slightly sweet flavor and fancy touch.

Very easy to make and so delicious! We like coconut so I added it to the fluff. Add a little rum…pina colada time! ?
How can I fix this recipe? Instead of putting one cup of Cool whip I put two cups, it looks too soupy.
I would add a little more dry pudding. Hope this helps. ~Martha
Martha, hi: I can’t see how the recipe I posted in a link below is a low-point WW recipe. It’s a pineapple fluff variation, but with this much cool whip, I’m getting 15 points per serving. For some reason WW calculator doesn’t give points for cups of Cool Whip, only ounces & tbs. So by my calculation, 2.5 cups of Cool Whip is well over 100 points. Can you help? I’ll be switching to your version since I now feel I’ve made a mistake thinking it was low cal. I think there’s also a variation with cottage cheese added. Which might be better? Thanks! https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/salad/fruit-salad/w-w-low-fat-watergate-salad.html
Hi Theresa,
I put the ingredients in the WW Recipe Builder and it came out to 5 Points per serving. Here’s the link: https://cmx.weightwatchers.com/details/MEMBERRECIPE:63d74e6fe9aba5504e5c8860 You could lower the points a little if you use a plain or sugar free yogurt. Hope this helps. ~Martha
I loved this! Although I did find it to be a little too sweet for me, so in addition to the above recipe I added about 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt. Thanks so much for this recipe, I’ll be making it often!
Hi Cyndi,
Glad you loved it. Like the idea of adding plain Greek yogurt. In addition to making it less sweet, it also provides a boost of protein! ~Martha
I made this pineapple fluff without the pudding I drained the pineapple and mixed it with whip cream & marshmallows
This is fantastic! I use all sugar free cool whip and pudding. I use pineapple in its own juices. This is good to put in a Graham cracker crust too!
I wanted something sweet and I had saw this dessert and I love pineapple, cool-whip and vanilla pudding so I tried it and it was delicious and very satisfying. Can’t wait to try some of the other fluff recipes.
Thanks Martha?
I wanted to reduce the points because I only get 18 points per day. For anyone interested I used 1 pkg Jello Sugar free Cheese cake pudding, 20 oz of peaches no sugar added and 8Tbsp Cool Whip Zero sugar. I separated it into 4 servings and the WW calculator tracked it at 1 point.
Thanks for sharing!
Easy and quick to make. Light and fluffy. Loved by all!
Made this a few ways ! Big hit !
Question about WW personal points. Your recipe calls for the pineapple to be undrained, but the WW ingredients show it as drained. Won’t this make a difference in the point total? Looking forward to making it, by the way.
Hi Vicki, Yes, good catch! I’ve updated the ingredients in the WW Recipe Builder! Thanks, ~Martha
