Description
Creamy, fluffy pistachio pineapple dessert loaded with marshmallows and crunchy pistachios for the ultimate nostalgic no-bake treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant pistachio pudding mix
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
- ½–¾ cup chopped pistachios
- Optional: maraschino cherries for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine crushed pineapple with juice and pistachio pudding mix, stirring until dissolved.
- Fold in Cool Whip until smooth and fully combined.
- Add marshmallows and most of the pistachios, folding gently.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Top with remaining pistachios and cherries before serving.
Notes
Do not drain the pineapple as the juice activates the pudding. Chill longer for best flavor and texture, and use full-fat Cool Whip for creaminess.
