Ingredients
- 1 box (3.4 ounces) instant banana pudding mix
- 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, with juice
- 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 medium bananas, sliced
- 1 jar (10 ounces) maraschino cherries, drained and halved
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant banana pudding mix with the crushed pineapple and its juice.
- Stir until the pudding begins to dissolve and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture becomes smooth and fluffy.
- Add the mini marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, sliced bananas, and halved maraschino cherries.
- Gently fold everything together until evenly combined while keeping the fruit intact.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend.
- Serve chilled in a large bowl or portion into individual dessert cups.
Notes
- Use the pineapple with its juice to properly activate the pudding mix.
- Toss banana slices with a small amount of lemon juice to help prevent browning.
- Chopped pecans can replace walnuts if preferred.
- Sliced strawberries can be added for extra fruit flavor.
- For a sweeter finish, drizzle chocolate syrup over the top before serving.
