Ingredients
- 1 package (3.4 oz) Instant pistachio pudding mix
- 1 can (20 oz) Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 container (8 oz) Whipped topping (thawed)
- 0.5 cup Chopped pistachios (optional for garnish)
- 8 pieces Maraschino cherries (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the entire package of instant pistachio pudding mix with the undrained can of crushed pineapple. Stir until the pudding mix is thoroughly dissolved and the mixture starts to thicken.
Step 2
Fold in the mini marshmallows and sweetened shredded coconut, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 3
Add the thawed whipped topping to the bowl and gently fold it into the mixture until smooth and well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the whipped topping.
Step 4
If desired, mix in half of the chopped pistachios for added texture.
Step 5
Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
Before serving, garnish the top of the dessert with the remaining chopped pistachios and place maraschino cherries on top, one for each serving, if desired.
Step 7
Serve chilled and enjoy!
