Ingredients

• 20 oz Canned pineapple chunks (in juice, drained)
• 15 oz Canned mandarin oranges (drained)
• 5 oz Vanilla pudding mix (instant)
• 8 oz Cool Whip (or whipped topping)
• 2 cups Mini marshmallows
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional for topping)
• 0.25 cup Shredded coconut (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained pineapple chunks and mandarin oranges.

Step 2

Sprinkle the vanilla instant pudding mix over the fruit and gently stir to evenly coat the fruit. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the pudding mix to start absorbing the juices from the fruit.

Step 3

Fold in the Cool Whip (or whipped topping) until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the mini marshmallows to add a light, fluffy texture to the dessert.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

When ready to serve, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top for added crunch and, if desired, garnish with shredded coconut for a tropical touch.

Step 7

Serve chilled in individual bowls or dessert glasses and enjoy this refreshing treat!
