- 2 tbsp maraschino cherries
Binding and Sweeteners:
- 1/3 cup marshmallow cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Peel and slice bananas into thin, uniform rounds, ensuring they are ripe but not overly soft.
- Whip heavy cream in a chilled mixing bowl until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy base for the dessert.
- Gradually fold in vanilla pudding mix, stirring gently to maintain the cream’s delicate texture and prevent deflation.

- Dice strawberries and pineapple chunks into small, bite-sized pieces, preparing them for even distribution.
- Gently fold the prepared fruits and chopped maraschino cherries into the creamy mixture, creating a colorful and textured dessert.
- Add vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor profile, stirring carefully to maintain the fluff’s light consistency.
- Transfer the mixture to a serving dish, creating elegant swirls and peaks with a spatula.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup in a decorative pattern across the top of the fluff, creating visual appeal and adding a rich chocolate accent.
- Chill the dessert for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly.
- Before serving, garnish with additional fresh fruit or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Slice bananas precisely to ensure consistent texture and even distribution throughout the dessert.
- Use chilled equipment like bowls and whisks to achieve maximum cream volume and stability.
- Select ripe but firm fruits to prevent excess moisture from making the fluff runny.
- Choose full-fat dairy ingredients for a richer, more luxurious mouthfeel and smoother consistency.
