Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Create the Base
In a large bowl, mix one 20-oz can of undrained crushed pineapple with 2 (3.4-oz) boxes instant pistachio pudding mix. Stir vigorously for 2 minutes—the pineapple juice will activate the pudding, creating a thick, glossy base.
2. Fold in the Fluff
Gently add 8 oz thawed whipped topping with a rubber spatula, using wide, sweeping motions to maintain airiness. Stop when no streaks remain. Fold in 1½ cups mini marshmallows until evenly distributed.
3. Add Crunch
Stir in ½ cup chopped pistachios, reserving a few for garnish. The mixture should be fluffy yet studded with pineapple, marshmallows, and nuts.
4. Chill & Serve
Cover and refrigerate for 1–4 hours (the longer it chills, the richer the flavor). Before serving, fluff lightly with a spoon, transfer to a festive bowl, and sprinkle with extra pistachios.
