I thought I had already made every version of "fluff salads" and then I see this one! I love the combination of fruit, Cool Whip, and marshmallows. Is instant coconut cream pudding easy to find? I feel like that is a flavor that was discontinued. This recipe will probably work with vanilla pudding, also, but I want coconut!

Hi there! When the Test Kitchen made this recipe, we found the coconut cream pudding and pie mix at our local Walmart. If you cannot find it, vanilla would make a tasty substitute as well. :) Enjoy!
