Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (or 1 container of whipped topping)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional for extra creaminess)
- 1/4 cup coconut flakes (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, vanilla pudding mix, mini marshmallows, and sour cream (if using). Stir until well mixed.
-
Whip the Cream:
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, or you can simply fold in the whipped topping for a quicker option.
-
Combine:
- Gently fold the whipped cream or whipped topping into the pineapple mixture until smooth and fully combined.
-
Chill:
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up a bit.
-
Serve:
- Before serving, sprinkle with coconut flakes (if using) for extra flavor and garnish. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- Substitutions: You can use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream for a healthier option or use pineapple chunks instead of crushed pineapple for more texture.
- Flavor Variations: Add some chopped maraschino cherries, mandarin oranges, or berries for extra flavor and color.
- Make Ahead: This dish can be made the night before for convenience and the flavors will deepen after sitting in the fridge.
