Ingredients
  

Dessert Base
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
Garnish (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios for garnish
  • Maraschino cherries for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the instant pistachio pudding mix with the undrained can of crushed pineapple. Use a whisk to stir the mixture until the pudding mix is completely dissolved.
  2. Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and the thawed whipped topping. Stir carefully to incorporate everything without deflating the whipped topping.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1-2 hours.
  4. Before serving, sprinkle chopped pistachios and add maraschino cherries as garnishes.
  5. Serve chilled.

Notes

For an extra touch of flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract. Consider using flavored whipped topping for a twist. Substitute fresh pineapple for canned for a more natural taste.
