Equipment

  • 1 Bowl

Ingredients

  • 12 oz whipped topping
  • 1 box pistachio pudding mix instant pudding
  • 20 oz pineapple crushed, with the juice
  • 2 c marshmallows mini, multi colored preferred
  • 1/2 c coconut
  • 1 c mandarin oranges drained (keep juice in case you want to thin it out later)
  • 1/4 c pistachios optional, crushed

Instructions

  • Fold together whipped topping and pistachio pudding mix until well blended.
  • Empty can of crushed pineapple into this mixture and fold in gently until combined.
  • Gently fold in mini marshmallows, mandarin oranges, and coconut until combined.
  • Best when refrigerated for at least an hour but you could make it in the morning and serve it in the evening too easily. If you think it is a bit too thick for your liking then add back in some of the drained mandarin orange juice to loosen it up.
  • Sprinkle crushed pistachio nuts on top for garnish, can add a few marshmallows on top too to make pretty + a light sprinkle of coconut.
