Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5.1 oz vanilla instant pudding mix
- 2 cups whole milk
- 8 oz whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 15 oz mandarin oranges, drained
- 20 oz pineapple chunks, drained
- 10 pieces fudge-striped cookies
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla instant pudding mix and milk for about 2 minutes, or until it thickens.
Fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture gently until fully combined and fluffy.
Add the drained mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks to the bowl, stirring carefully to avoid breaking up the fruit.
Crush 8 of the fudge-striped cookies into medium-sized pieces and fold them into the mixture. Reserve the remaining 2 cookies for garnish.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, crush the reserved cookies and sprinkle on top for garnish.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
