How to Store Leftovers
If you happen to have any leftovers (although it’s unlikely!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be aware that the marshmallows may become a bit soggy over time, so it’s best to enjoy this dessert fresh if possible.
Food and Drink Pairings
Hawaiian Pineapple Coconut Fluff pairs perfectly with a variety of tropical-inspired beverages, such as pineapple juice, coconut water, or a refreshing piña colada. For a truly authentic Hawaiian experience, serve it alongside a plate of fresh tropical fruits like mango, papaya, and kiwi.
