Ingredients

3.4 oz instant pistachio pudding mix
20 oz crushed pineapple, undrained
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
0.5 cup chopped pecans
8 oz whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add the instant pistachio pudding mix and the entire can of crushed pineapple (including the juice). Stir until the pudding mix is fully dissolved and smooth.

Step 2

Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, sweetened shredded coconut, and chopped pecans until evenly combined.

Step 3

Add the thawed whipped topping to the bowl. Fold it in carefully using a spatula to avoid deflating the mixture, ensuring everything is well-mixed and fluffy.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften.

Step 5

Serve chilled as a dessert or side dish. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped pecans or a sprinkle of shredded coconut before serving. Enjoy!
