Ingredients
– 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
– 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
– 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
– 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
– 1 can (8 oz) pineapple tidbits, drained
– 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
– Maraschino cherries, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Begin by draining the crushed pineapple thoroughly to remove excess liquid. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained pineapple with the instant vanilla pudding mix. Stir until the pudding mix is fully incorporated, creating a creamy base for your fluff.
2. Next, add the sweetened shredded coconut, mini marshmallows, and drained pineapple tidbits to the bowl. Gently fold these ingredients into the pineapple pudding mixture until evenly distributed, ensuring every bite is packed with tropical goodness.
3. Now, it’s time to add a touch of airy sweetness. Fold in the thawed whipped topping until it is seamlessly integrated into the mixture, creating a light and fluffy texture that’s simply irresistible.
4. Transfer the heavenly concoction into a serving dish or individual dessert cups, spreading it out evenly to showcase its vibrant colors and inviting aroma.
5. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld together, enhancing the tropical essence of the dessert.
6. Just before serving, add a finishing touch of whimsy by garnishing with maraschino cherries. Not only do they provide a burst of color, but they also add a hint of sweetness that complements the tropical flavors perfectly.
Enjoy!
