Ingredients
- 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
- 0.5 cup Chopped pistachios
- 0.5 cup Maraschino cherries (drained, optional, for garnish)

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned crushed pineapple (with its juice) and the instant pistachio pudding mix. Stir until the mixture is well-blended and thickened.
Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip using a spatula until smooth and fluffy.
Add the mini marshmallows, sweetened flaked coconut, chopped pistachios, and drained mandarin orange slices. Stir gently to evenly distribute the ingredients without breaking the fruit.
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.
Before serving, garnish with additional coconut, chopped pistachios, or a few maraschino cherries for presentation, if desired.
