Mix the pudding & pineapple:
In a large bowl, stir together the instant pudding mix and drained crushed pineapple until well combined. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to thicken. -
Fold in the whipped topping:
Gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth and fluffy. The whipped topping adds a light, airy texture to the dessert. -

Tip:
For a tropical twist, consider adding diced mango or mandarin oranges for a delightful variety of flavors! π
