Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 ounces Crushed pineapple in juice
- 3.4 ounces Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 8 ounces Whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 whole Angel food cake
- 0.5 cups Fresh pineapple chunks (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Drain the crushed pineapple, reserving the juice.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry instant vanilla pudding mix with the reserved pineapple juice. Stir until the pudding mix is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Fold in the whipped topping gently using a spatula until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the whipped topping.
Add the drained crushed pineapple to the bowl and fold it into the mixture until evenly distributed.
Cut the angel food cake into bite-sized cubes or slices, depending on your serving preference.
In a serving dish (trifle dish, individual glasses, or a 9x13-inch baking dish), layer the cake pieces and the pineapple pudding mixture alternately. Start with a layer of cake, followed by a layer of the pineapple mixture, and repeat until all ingredients are used, ending with the pineapple mixture on top.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.
Before serving, garnish with fresh pineapple chunks and mint leaves, if desired.
