Ingredients
  

1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice, drained

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pack (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

1 cup cold milk

1 cup mini marshmallows

1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened preferred)

½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Pineapple slices and maraschino cherries for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple and the instant vanilla pudding mix. Stir until well mixed and set aside to allow the pudding to thicken, about 5 minutes.

    Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.

      Combine Mixtures: Once the whipped cream is ready, gently fold it into the pineapple and pudding mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream – folding is key!

        Add Extras: Fold in the mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts (if using) until blended evenly throughout the mixture.

          Chill: Transfer the mixture to a glass serving dish or individual dessert cups. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

            Serve: Before serving, garnish each portion with additional shredded coconut, a slice of pineapple on top, and a maraschino cherry. Enjoy your refreshing and creamy Pineapple Cloud Delight!
