Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can crushed pineapple in juice 20 ounces, undrained
  • 1 package vanilla instant pudding mix 3.4 ounces, use dry mix
  • 1 cup whipped topping thawed

Method
 

  1. Pour the entire can of crushed pineapple, including the juice, into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Add the dry vanilla instant pudding mix and stir until thoroughly combined.
  3. Let the mixture sit briefly as it begins to thicken from the pineapple juice.
  4. Add the thawed whipped topping.
  5. Gently fold the whipped topping into the pineapple mixture with a spatula until smooth, light, and fluffy.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the pudding to fully set and the flavors to blend.
  7. Give the dessert a gentle stir before serving.
  8. Spoon into individual dessert cups or small bowls and serve chilled.

Notes

For extra texture, fold in mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, or chopped pecans. Garnish with a pineapple tidbit or a dollop of whipped topping before serving.
