Notes
- Customize the Jello base by using alternative flavors like raspberry or cherry for a different taste profile.
- Opt for sugar-free Jello and low-fat Cool Whip to create a lighter, diet-friendly version of the dessert.
- Enhance texture by draining canned pineapple thoroughly to prevent excess liquid from making the fluff watery.
- Experiment with mix-ins like graham cracker crumbs or shredded coconut for added crunch and interesting flavor dimensions.
