Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the instant pudding mix and crushed pineapple with its juice until well combined and thickened.
Gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth.
Add in the mini marshmallows, sliced bananas, chopped strawberries, cherries, and nuts (if using). Stir gently to combine.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to blend and marshmallows to soften.
Before serving, garnish with extra cherries, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, or a sprinkle of nuts if desired.

Notes

For best texture, add banana slices just before serving to avoid browning.
You can also swap in other fruits like blueberries or grapes for a fun twist.
