Creamy Watergate Fruit Salad combines the flavor of pistachio pudding, pineapple, and chopped pistachios for a delightful no-bake dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Instant Pistachio Pudding Mix
- 1 can Crushed Pineapple (with juice)
- 2 cups Mini Marshmallows
- 1 container Cool Whip (whipped topping)
- 1 cup Chopped Pistachios
- 1/2 cup Maraschino Cherries (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant pistachio pudding mix with the crushed pineapple, including its juice. Whisk together until smooth and thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently fold in the mini marshmallows into the pudding and pineapple mixture, being careful not to overmix.
- Carefully add the Cool Whip to the bowl, folding it in until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take another 2-3 minutes.
- Fold in the majority of the chopped pistachios, reserving some for topping later.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
- Before serving, stir gently and top with reserved pistachios and optional maraschino cherries.
Notes
- Chop pistachios just before using for freshness.
- Use fruit-flavored marshmallows for a twist.
