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