INGREDIENTS

  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple (with juice)
  • 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with juice) and dry pudding mix. Stir well until it thickens.
  2. Gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add mini marshmallows and shredded coconut, mixing evenly.
  4. If using, stir in chopped nuts for extra crunch.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours before serving.
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy your fluffy dessert!

TIPS

  • Do not drain the pineapple; the juice helps activate the pudding mix.
  • Chill longer for a thicker, more set texture.
  • Add maraschino cherries for extra sweetness and color.
  • For a lighter version, use low-fat whipped topping.
  • Best served cold for maximum flavor and fluffiness.
