What You’ll Need:
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, well drained
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup shredded coconut (optional)
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk (for extra creaminess)
- Maraschino cherries, for topping
How to Make It:
- Combine Pineapple & Pudding
In a mixing bowl, stir together the drained crushed pineapple and the pudding mix. Let it sit for about 5 minutes—it’ll start to thicken up. - Add the Whipped Topping
Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy. - Mix in the Goodies
Stir in the marshmallows, coconut, and nuts (if using). Pour in the sweetened condensed milk for a richer texture and mix everything until well blended. - Chill It
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This helps all the flavors come together. - Serve & Enjoy
Scoop into individual bowls or cups, top each with a maraschino cherry, and dig in!
