Start with a large mixing bowl. Combine the cheesecake Jell-O instant pudding mix and the crushed pineapple. Stir it until it looks well mixed and smooth.
Next, fold in the whipped topping gently. You wanna keep it light and fluffy, so don’t overmix or you’ll lose that airy texture.
Once that’s combined, gently fold in 2 cups of the colored miniature marshmallows, shredded coconut, and drained fruit cocktail. This step’s crucial to keep the fluff looking colorful and treats nice and tender.
Transfer your mixture carefully into your serving dish. Spread it out evenly so every bite has some marshmallow and fruit bits.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of miniature marshmallows across the top. This adds a soft little toasted effect after chilling.
Place the 3 Peeps bunnies on the top. They’ll kinda melt a bit as flavors settle but don’t worry, they still look great and taste dang sweet.
Pop the serving dish into the fridge. You gotta refrigerate at least 2 hours for all the flavors to meld together nice and slow release your patience.
When it's time, serve it up chilled and watch everyone’s eyes light up as they dive in.
Notes
Serve chilled for best flavor. Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more marshmallows.
