To create this delectable dessert, begin by grabbing a large mixing bowl. In it, combine the drained crushed pineapple and the instant vanilla pudding mix. Give your mixture a good stir until it is well combined; you’re off to a fantastic start! Next, gently fold in the sweetened shredded coconut, mini marshmallows, and drained pineapple tidbits. We want all those glorious ingredients to meet and mingle nicely!

Now, it is time to fold in your thawed whipped topping. This is where the fluffiness truly comes to life! Make sure everything is evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Once your creation is ready, transfer it to a lovely serving dish or individual dessert cups; it will look glorious no matter how you choose to present it. Remember to cover your fluffy masterpiece and pop it into the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Before you unveil this treat, consider garnishing it with maraschino cherries for that extra pop of color!
