FAQ
Can I use regular vanilla pudding instead of cheesecake flavored pudding?
Absolutely! While cheesecake flavored pudding gives the fluff its signature tang, vanilla pudding will still taste delicious—just a bit less “cheesy.”
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes! In fact, making it a few hours in advance allows the flavors to meld. Just keep it covered in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh?
You can, but fresh berries work best for texture and presentation. If using frozen, thaw and drain them well to avoid excess liquid in your fluff.
Is there a substitute for whipped topping?
If you prefer, you can use homemade whipped cream instead of store-bought whipped topping. Just whip heavy cream with a bit of sugar until stiff peaks form, then fold it in gently.
