Lime Fluff

Delicious! I’ve been making fluff recipes from the 15 Best Fluff Recipes list and this is one of my favorites so far. The pecans were perfect as they added a tender crunch. 16 ounces of marshmallows was a bit and I started to question if it was going to fit in my trifle dish. (It just fit). I’d be interested in 10 ounces of marshmallows and perhaps 8 ounces of sour cream. Overall it was yummy enough to create an account and review. Great lime dessert after sandwiches, Mexican and summer barbeques.

I didn’t add the pecans. I will definitely make again probably experimenting with different flavors/fruits.

MADE IT!…. recipe was very easy and turned out GREAT!…Makes a large bowl… great dessert for the summer cookout!

I halved the recipe using the tool. Perfect amount. Added a can of mandarin oranges and maraschino cherries. Everyone loved it.

Made it for my families Christmas and it was a great hit. I made is just as the recipie stated and turned out wonderful.

I’ve been trying to recreate grandma’s fluff salads for years and none of the recipes get close, they’re always way too sweet. This one caused some problems the first time around. It tasted great, better than others so far, but would not set. I don’t know what went wrong but I made it again, exactly the same as the first time and it turned out great. I did swap out the lime jello for orange, cut the amount of marshmallows in half and substituted strained Greek yogurt for the sour cream. I think a drained can of mandarin oranges would have been a good addition and will probably add them next time.

I doubled the recipe not knowing how much a single bowl made. Whoa! A double batch made a HUGE bowl. After several meals of lime fluff I decided to try freezing it. Now I always make a double batch and freeze several containers, because this stuff is just as good after freezing and thawing!! This is my “go to” dish for a potluck.

This is good. For those asking if you prepare the Jell-O, or complain it is soupy, no, you don’t make the jello…. Just use the powder. I have also made this with lemon jello. Make sure to refrigerate a few hours before serving. Mix all the ingredients except whipped cream. Add that last and do not over fold it or it’s not fluffy.

I drained the crushed pineapple and used half of the sour cream.

Made this for Christmas Eve…very easy, yummy and looked so pretty too!

My grandmother used to make this, but she called it Ambrosia. This recipe really brings me home! I don’t know one kid that doesn’t like this stuff. You can also change the flavor of the gelatain if you don’t like lime, but I love it!

Delicious! Turned out great! I left the nuts out. For anyone who had trouble with this recipe… I combined the dry jello with the pineapple and juice first and blended that well before adding the sour cream, whipped topping and marshmellows. Stir gently so that you don’t disrupt the fluffiness of the whipped topping. I will definately remake this for holidays with different colors of jello.

This green stuff is fanstasic! Make sure you use a big bowl! I thought it would never get eaten because there was so much but it was gone within days. Wouldn’t change a single thing!

Very tasty and quick to put together! I left out the actual pineapple and just used pineapple juice as I am not a fan of the texture of the fruit in jello. Thanks! I think I will try a different flavor next time (maybe lemon or orange??)

A friend of mine calls this salad “The Exorcist Salad”. I guess because of the color and texture. This is just ordinary tasting.

THIS RECIPE IS DELICIOUS!! I have been searching for a recipe like my grandmother in-law’s lime fluff and it’ve got to say this is as close as it gets! I made this for a picnic, but my 5 year old son is totally anti-green anything. So, I called it a Shrek marshmallow caserole, and even he loved it. I stirred all the ingredients together and it came out wonderful, I didn’t add the nuts just because i’m all about textures and I like the smoothness of it without. The only thing I would change about this recipe in the driections I would have stated to FOLD in the whipped topping, not stir. Otherwise you loose alot ot the fluffyness of the whipped topping of which adds to the texture and fluff aspect of the “lime fluff”. Other than that one minor change. this is deffinately a two spoons up!

Excellent flavor, easy to make. I didnt use that many marshmallows though.

I halved all ingredients except the cool whip. This was an average tasting jello salad. I think it would be better with some different fruits. With just the pineapple, it seemed boring. If I made it again, I would use a can of fruit cocktail or manderin oranges, etc. The recipe made alot, even halved.

Been making this for two years now and love it more and more. FANTASTIC!!!!

I was looking on this site for a specific jello recipe my Gramma used to make for all of our family functions, and this one is really close to it. I’ve omitted the nuts because lots of people in my family won’t eat things with nuts in it, and I think it is better without them anyways. This is a great recipe to bring to potlucks and family gatherings, everybody loves it! It’s one of those old tried and true recipes that is sure to please even the pickiest eaters!

Very interesting . Might be better using a different flavor of jello instead of the lime. None of the kids cared for it, my husband ate it but said it wasn’t a keeper.
