1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
½ cup chopped pecans (optional)

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pineapple with the dry pudding mix until well blended and thickened.
3. Fold in the Cool Whip gently using a rubber spatula to keep the fluff light.
4. Add mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, and pecans (if using). Fold everything together evenly.

Notes
Be sure to drain the pineapple well to avoid watery fluff.
If using homemade whipped cream, make sure it’s whipped to stiff peaks.
For extra flair, garnish with fresh pineapple chunks or toasted coconut before serving.
