Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 can Crushed Pineapple (with juice) Use crushed pineapple with juice for best flavor.
  • 1 box Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 1 container Cool Whip (Whipped Topping)
  • 2 cups Mini Marshmallows For a less sweet flavor, reduce the amount.
Optional Mix-ins
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Coconut Optional.
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Nuts Optional.
  • 1/2 cup Maraschino Cherries Optional, for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with juice) and instant vanilla pudding mix. Stir until fully blended.
  2. Gently stir in the mini marshmallows, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  3. Fold in the Cool Whip using a spatula, keeping the mixture light and fluffy.
  4. Fold in any optional mix-ins like shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or cherries.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the fluff to thicken.
Serving
  1. Spoon into bowls or serve family-style. Garnish with cherries or coconut if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Stir before serving. For richer flavor, let sit overnight.
