Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 oz Crushed pineapple (canned, with juice)
- 15 oz Mandarin oranges (canned, drained)
- 2 cups Miniature marshmallows
- 3.4 oz Vanilla instant pudding mix
- 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)
- 0.5 cup Sweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with its juice) and the box of vanilla instant pudding mix. Stir until the pudding mix is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Gently fold in the mandarin oranges, ensuring they do not break apart.
Add the miniature marshmallows and stir until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Using a spatula, fold in the Cool Whip until the mixture is light, fluffy, and creamy. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, gently fold in the shredded coconut and chopped nuts at this stage.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.
Serve cold in individual bowls or as a side dish, garnished with extra nuts or coconut if desired.
