This pina colada fluff recipe is from one of my grandma's vintage cookbooks. Instead of alcoholic rum, you could use rum extract. —Crystal Jo Bruns, Iliff, Colorado

Pina Colada Fluff Tips

Can you use homemade whipped cream instead of whipped topping to make pina colada fluff?

Yes, homemade whipped cream can generally be substituted in place of whipped topping. Check out more tips for replacing whipped topping in your recipes.

What can you use instead of rum or rum extract?

If you don't have rum extract, coconut, pineapple or citrus extract could be used too. Find them in the baking aisle of your local grocery or specialty food store and put them to use in any of these other rum extract recipes, too.

How far in advance can you make pina colada fluff?

If using prepared whipped topping, you can make the pina colada fluff a few days in advance. Just make sure you keep it in the fridge until it's time to serve. If using homemade whipped cream, be more cautious and make the fluff only a few hours in advance, or a day ahead at most. If you make it too far ahead, you may see the homemade whipped cream begin to deflate.
