- 3.4 oz Instant pistachio pudding mix
- 20 oz Crushed pineapple (canned, with juice)
- 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Sweetened flaked coconut

If desired, add the maraschino cherries for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to set.
