Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix (or coconut cream pudding)
- 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, do not drain
- 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping, thawed
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut (optional)
- ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir pudding mix directly into the crushed pineapple with its juice until fully combined and slightly thickened.
- Gently fold in whipped topping, marshmallows, coconut, and pecans until evenly mixed.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours so flavors blend and texture firms up.
- Stir gently before serving and sprinkle extra pecans or coconut on top if desired.
Notes
- Do not drain pineapple — the juice activates the pudding.
- Fold gently to keep the mixture light and airy.
- For Piña Colada flavor: Add 1 tsp rum extract.
- No coconut fan? Skip it and use coconut cream pudding instead.
- Make ahead friendly: Tastes even better after chilling overnight.
