Sweet crushed pineapple, soft mini marshmallows, and a light vanilla cream filling come together instantly for an effortless, old-fashioned Southern favorite that is always a hit at family potlucks.
Anti-Inflammatory Highlights
Pineapple: Contains natural bromelain enzymes and vitamin C, which help support digestion and soothe cellular inflammation.
Optional Pecans & Coconut: Provide heart-healthy fats and dietary fiber when added for that classic Southern touch.
Ingredients
20 oz crushed pineapple (drained or undrained depending on preferred creaminess)
8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)
3.4 oz box vanilla instant pudding mix
2 cups mini marshmallows
Optional: Shredded coconut and chopped pecans (for topping)
Instructions
1. Combine Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix and the crushed pineapple (including the juice for extra flavor and moisture). Stir well until the pudding mix is fully dissolved and incorporated into the pineapple.
2. Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the pineapple and pudding mixture until smooth and creamy.
3. Add Marshmallows: Stir in the mini marshmallows until evenly distributed throughout the fluffy mixture.
4. Chill & Set: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the marshmallows to soften slightly and the flavors to meld.
5. Garnish & Serve: Top with optional shredded coconut and chopped pecans for an authentic old-fashioned Southern touch, then scoop and serve chilled!
