Notes

Storage for Easter Fluff : To keep Easter Fluff at its best, store it in an airtight container in the fridge and eat it within 2-3 days. After that, the texture and flavor will start to go downhill.
Dairy-Free Alternative: Easter Fluff can be made with Coco Whip instead of Cool Whip, providing a suitable substitution for those avoiding dairy.
