• Crushed graham cracker crumbs: To give you fluff a cheesecake flavor, add some crushed graham crackers or crushed vanilla wafers. The buttery crumbs work great with the fruity flavors.

• Fresh mint leaves: You can add a delightful touch of herby coolness with just a couple of chopped fresh mint leaves.

• White chocolate chips: Add even more sweetness and crunch to the fluffy texture with some white chocolate chips added in.

• Pineapple chunks: For an extra burst of tropical goodness, a diced pineapple is always a huge hit.

• Cottage cheese: If you want to add an interesting twist, you can use part cottage cheese or even add a couple of tablespoons of sour cream to the cool whip and cream cheese mixture.

• Pudding version: You can use a flavored instant pudding mix such as vanilla, lemon, or cheesecake flavor, instead of cream cheese. You’ll use a 3.4 oz box with 1 cup of cold milk. Then continue the instructions by adding the whipped topping and remaining fillings.
