Servings: 8
Calories: 350kcal
Ingredients
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple
- 3.4 oz. vanilla pudding mix
- 8 ounces whipped topping
- 1 tsp. rum extract
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 ½ cups sweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup toasted pecans chopped
- Maraschino cherries optional
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the crushed pineapple (with the juice) and the vanilla pudding mix.
- Add the rum extract, marshmallows, nuts, coconut, and cool whip, and mix until well combined.
- Move to the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes, or until ready to serve.
- When serving, top serving bowl with a maraschino cherry, or add one to each individual serving (If desired.)
Notes
- The recipe calls for maraschino cherries, but I like to only put them on top rather than in the salad as it will change the flavor. If serving in individual containers, you can put a cherry on top of each serving.
- The rum extract is optional. It gives it the most similar flavor to a Pina Colada, but still tastes great without it.
- While you can serve after only 30 minutes, I recommend you refrigerate the salad for at least two hours before serving so it has time to chill and firm up.
