Pineapple Fluff Dessert Salad (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Pudding and Fruit

01 - 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (approximately 3.4 ounces)

02 - 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple with juice

→ Creaminess and Texture

03 - 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping (Cool Whip)

04 - 2 cups mini marshmallows

05 - 1 cup shredded coconut, sweetened or unsweetened

06 - 1 cup chopped pecans

# Instructions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, stir together the instant vanilla pudding mix and crushed pineapple, including all the juice, until the pudding mix is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

02 - Gently fold in the whipped topping to preserve the light and airy texture of the mixture.

03 - Fold in the mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans until the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

04 - Cover the bowl and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours and up to 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the fluff to firm up.

05 - Before serving, optionally garnish with extra crushed pineapple, chopped pecans, mini marshmallows, and a light sprinkle of shredded coconut to enhance presentation.

# Notes:

01 - For a lighter alternative, substitute sugar-free pudding mix and light whipped topping. Adjust coconut and pecan quantities to personal preference. When using fresh pineapple, drain thoroughly to avoid excess moisture.
