Notes

  • Softening Cream Cheese: If you forgot to take the cream cheese out, you can microwave it for 15-20 seconds (without the foil wrapper!) to soften it up for easier mixing.
  • Drain Well: We cannot stress this enough—press that pineapple dry! The drier the fruit, the creamier your fluff will be.
  • Serving Suggestion: This looks beautiful served in individual glass cups or mason jars for a party. Layer the cream and pretzels just before guests arrive.
