Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3.5 ounce package instant pistachio pudding mix
- 20 ounce can crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 8 ounce tub whipped topping (COOL WHIP), thawed
Instructions
- Mix pudding and pineapple: In a medium bowl, combine the instant pistachio pudding mix with the undrained crushed pineapple. Stir well until the pudding mix is fully dissolved and the mixture is evenly combined.
- Add marshmallows and pecans: Stir in the mini marshmallows and the chopped pecans gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Fold in whipped topping: Carefully fold the thawed whipped topping into the mixture, maintaining the fluffy texture and incorporating it evenly without deflating.
- Chill before serving: Place the mixture in the refrigerator and chill for about one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the fluff to set slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, simply omit the chopped pecans.
- Mini marshmallows add a nice texture, but you can substitute with regular marshmallows if needed.
- Ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed to make folding easier and to maintain the fluffiness.
- This dessert is best served chilled but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
