Ingredients
3 cups fruit-flavored mini marshmallows
1 can (15 oz) mandarin oranges, very well drained
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, very well drained
1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup cold milk
1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (Cool Whip)
1/2 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened.
- Fold in the whipped topping until smooth and creamy.
- Gently mix in the mini marshmallows, mandarin oranges, crushed pineapple, and shredded coconut until evenly combined.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend and the dessert to chill.
- Stir lightly before serving and serve cold.
Notes
Drain fruit thoroughly to prevent a watery texture.
Substitute fresh fruit if desired, but pat dry to remove excess moisture.
Use freshly whipped cream instead of whipped topping for a richer flavor.
Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
