Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 oz Crushed pineapple (canned, with juice)
- 3.4 oz Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)
- 2 cups Miniature marshmallows
- 0.5 cup Sweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 10 pieces Maraschino cherries (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the canned crushed pineapple along with its juice.
Add the instant vanilla pudding mix to the pineapple and stir until fully combined. The mixture should start to thicken slightly.
Gently fold in the Cool Whip to the pineapple and pudding mixture until smooth and evenly blended.
Add the miniature marshmallows and stir them into the mixture. If using shredded coconut or nuts, fold them in at this stage as well.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to set.
Before serving, give the salad a quick stir, and garnish with maraschino cherries on top if desired.
Serve cold and enjoy this refreshing treat with friends and family!
