Cool Whip Fruit Dish (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 box (3.4 oz) vanilla pudding mix, instant, serves 4
02 -
2 cups halved green grapes
03 -
½ cup shredded coconut
04 -
8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
05 -
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
06 -
½ cup chopped pecans
07 -
15 oz can of mandarin oranges, with liquid
08 -
20 oz can of pineapple tidbits, drained well
09 -
2 cups fresh blueberries
# Instructions:
01 -
Put a dry pan over medium heat and toss in the pecans. Stir them around for a few minutes, just until they're golden and smell nutty. Quickly take them out and let them cool on a plate or board.
02 -
Keep a dry skillet on medium heat, then lower it slightly to avoid burning. Toss in the coconut and stir for a few minutes until golden brown. Remove and move it onto a cool surface right away.
03 -
Grab a big bowl and whisk the instant pudding directly with the liquid from the canned mandarins until smooth. Gently mix in your whipped topping until it's blended in.
04 -
Stir the grapes, pineapples, coconut, pecans, strawberries, and blueberries into the pudding mix until it's all combined evenly.
05 -
Pop the entire thing into the fridge for an hour. Serve with extra fruit, nuts, or coconut if you'd like.
# Notes:
01 -
It tastes best when eaten fresh, right after making it.
