Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir together pineapple (and its juice), dry pudding mix, marshmallows, pecans and coconut.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (and up to 24 hours).
- Give everything a gentle stir just before serving. Garnish with maraschino cherries.
Notes
- Make sure that you buy instant pistachio pudding mix. You only need the dry mix -- you do not need to prepare the pudding according to the package directions. A 4-serving small box is all that you need (either a 3.4 oz box of the regular instant pistachio pudding mix or a 1-ounce box of the sugar-free instant pistachio pudding mix). I use the sugar-free version because that's all that my grocery store carries, but either variety works!
- Do not thaw the Cool Whip on the countertop. Instead, allow at least 4-5 hours (or overnight) for the Cool Whip tub to thaw in the refrigerator. This will maintain its fluffy texture.
