Lime Fluff is a light, creamy, and refreshing no-bake dessert made with lime gelatin, whipped topping, fruit, and mini marshmallows. This nostalgic dessert salad is perfect for holidays, potlucks, picnics, and family gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Lime gelatin mix
  • Whipped topping, thawed
  • Crushed pineapple, well-drained
  • Cottage cheese or plain Greek yogurt
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • Maraschino cherries, halved (optional)
  • Sweetened shredded coconut (optional)
  • Lime zest (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese or Greek yogurt with the lime gelatin mix until well blended.
  2. Fold in the whipped topping until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the well-drained crushed pineapple and mini marshmallows.
  4. Stir in the chopped pecans, walnuts, maraschino cherries, and shredded coconut if using.
  5. Gently fold everything together until evenly combined.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften.
  7. Stir gently before serving and garnish with lime zest or extra cherries if desired.

Notes

  • Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to keep the dessert thick and fluffy.
  • Stabilized homemade whipped cream can be substituted for whipped topping.
  • Fresh lime juice and zest can be added for a brighter citrus flavor.
  • Greek yogurt or softened cream cheese can replace cottage cheese for a different texture.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended because the texture may change after thawing.
