🍽️ Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Base

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with 1 cup of cold milk (or per package instructions).

  2. Whisk until smooth and slightly thickened (about 2–3 minutes).

Step 2: Fold in the Whipped Topping

  1. Gently fold in the Cool Whip until fully incorporated.

  2. Ensure a light, airy texture without overmixing, which can deflate the fluff.

Step 3: Add Marshmallows and Pineapple

  1. Fold in mini marshmallows and drained crushed pineapple.

  2. Optional: Add shredded coconut for extra tropical flavor.
