Description
A festive and delightful dessert that combines sweet and creamy flavors with a fruity twist, perfect for Christmas celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix (dry mix only)
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 jar (10 oz) maraschino cherries, drained & halved
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Red & green sprinkles (optional for topping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine Cool Whip, dry vanilla pudding mix, and crushed pineapple with the juice. Stir until thick, creamy, and fully combined.
- Fold in maraschino cherries, mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, and nuts (if using). Mix gently to avoid crushing the fruit.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour so the mixture thickens and the marshmallows soften. Overnight chilling gives the best texture!
- Give the fluff a quick stir before serving. Add festive red & green sprinkles, extra cherries, or mini marshmallows on top.
Notes
- For best results, refrigerate overnight.
- Feel free to customize with your choice of nuts or additional fruits.
- This dessert can be made a day in advance.
