- 1 can (20 oz / 565 g) pineapple chunks, drained
- 1 can (8 oz / 225 g) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 package (3.4 oz / 96 g) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 container (8 oz / 225 g) whipped topping, thawed
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Drain the pineapple chunks, crushed pineapple, and mandarin oranges thoroughly to prevent excess liquid from making the salad watery.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix and sour cream. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Add the vanilla extract and gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add the pineapple chunks, crushed pineapple, mandarin oranges, mini marshmallows, and shredded coconut.
- Gently fold all the ingredients together until the fruit and marshmallows are evenly coated in the creamy mixture.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend and the marshmallows to soften.
- Before serving, sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the top for a little extra crunch.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with additional pineapple chunks or coconut if desired. Serve chilled.
Notes
- This salad is best served chilled for enhanced flavor.
- Feel free to add other fruits like berries or bananas for variation.
