Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.4 ounces Instant pistachio pudding mix
- 20 ounces Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 8 ounces Whipped topping (thawed)
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cups Chopped pistachios
- 0.5 cups Shredded sweetened coconut (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant pistachio pudding mix and the entire can of crushed pineapple (including the juice). Stir until the pudding mix is fully dissolved and thickened slightly.
Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
Add the mini marshmallows, chopped pistachios, and shredded coconut, if using. Fold them into the mixture until everything is evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften.
Before serving, give the mixture a gentle stir and transfer it to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped pistachios or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for extra appeal.
