Pistachio Pineapple Fluff with Marshmallows (Print version)

A cool, creamy pistachio pineapple fluff with mini marshmallows, whipped topping, and crunchy nuts.

# Ingredients:

For the fluff

01 - 1 can (20 oz or 565 g) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained

02 - 1 package (3.4 oz or 96 g) instant pistachio pudding mix

03 - 2 cups (100 g) mini marshmallows

04 - 1/2 cup (60 g) chopped pistachios or pecans, plus more for topping

05 - 1/2 cup (40 g) sweetened shredded coconut, optional

06 - 1 container (8 oz or 225 g) frozen whipped topping, thawed

For serving

07 - Maraschino cherries, drained and patted dry

08 - Extra chopped pistachios, for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Add the undrained crushed pineapple to a large bowl. Sprinkle in the dry pistachio pudding mix and stir until smooth and thickened, about 1 minute.

02 - Fold in the mini marshmallows, chopped pistachios or pecans, and coconut if using. Stir gently until everything is coated.

03 - Add the thawed whipped topping in two additions. Fold gently with a spatula until the fluff is evenly pale green with no large white streaks.

04 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours. The marshmallows will soften and the pudding base will set.

05 - Spoon into a serving bowl. Top with extra chopped pistachios and drained maraschino cherries just before serving.

# Good to know:

01 - Best after at least 1 hour of chilling.

02 - Use the pineapple juice from the can. Do not drain it.

03 - Keep chilled until serving.
