# Ingredients:
01 -
1 small box (3.4 oz) of instant vanilla pudding (makes 4 servings)
02 -
1 can (15 oz) of mandarin oranges packed in water, unstrained
03 -
2 cups of halved green grapes
04 -
8 oz of Cool Whip topping

2 cups of sliced strawberries
06 -
2 cups of fresh blueberries
07 -
½ cup of chopped pecans

½ cup of shredded coconut
09 -
1 can (20 oz) of pineapple tidbits, liquid removed
# Instructions:
01 -
Set a skillet over medium heat. Add pecans and stir now and then for 2-5 minutes, watching until the nutty smell comes out and they look lightly browned. Take them off immediately and let cool on a plate or board.
02 -
Use a skillet on medium heat and toss in the coconut. Turn the heat down if it cooks too fast, stirring around for about 3-4 minutes. Once it's golden, pop it onto a cool plate and let it rest.
03 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the mandarin oranges (don’t drain the juice) and the dry vanilla pudding until it’s blended. Gently fold in the Cool Whip.
04 -
Drop in the blueberries, halved grapes, sliced strawberries, pineapple (no juice), and your toasted pecans and coconut. Give it a thorough stir.
05 -
Let the mixture rest in the fridge for about an hour to get nice and cold. If you’re feeling fancy, top it with some extra fruit, nuts, or coconut before digging in.
