Ingredients
1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 (8 oz) container whipped topping, thawed
1½ cups mini marshmallows
2 ripe bananas, sliced
1 cup chopped strawberries
½ cup chopped maraschino cherries (plus extra for garnish)
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Chocolate syrup (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
Mix Base: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the vanilla pudding mix and crushed pineapple with juice until combined and slightly thickened.
Add Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth and fluffy.
Add Mix-Ins: Stir in the marshmallows, sliced bananas, strawberries, cherries, and nuts (if using). Mix gently to avoid breaking up the fruit.
Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to blend and the marshmallows to soften.
Serve: Just before serving, garnish with extra cherries, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, or additional nuts if desired.
Notes
Banana Tip: For best results, add the banana slices just before serving to prevent browning.
Fruit Swaps: Try swapping in grapes, blueberries, or diced kiwi for variety.
Make-Ahead Friendly: Can be made up to 6 hours ahead—just hold off on bananas until serving time.
