Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant pistachio pudding mix
- 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 (7 oz) jar marshmallow fluff or 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, well drained
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- Optional: ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut, maraschino cherries for garnish
Instructions
- Mix base: In a large bowl, combine pistachio pudding mix and whipped topping. Fold gently until smooth and evenly green.
- Add mix-ins: Stir in marshmallow fluff (or mini marshmallows), drained pineapple, nuts, and optional coconut.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor and texture.
- Serve cold, garnished with cherries or extra nuts if desired.
💡 Pro Tips:
– Drain pineapple thoroughly—squeeze in a colander or paper towels to avoid a watery fluff.
– For homemade version: Use vanilla pudding + ½ tsp almond extract + 4–6 drops green food coloring.
– Make it nut-free: Skip nuts or use toasted sunflower seeds.
