Key Ingredients:
1. Crushed Pineapple and Pineapple Tidbits
Thoroughly Drained: For the best texture, drain the pineapple well. Excess juice can make the dessert too watery.
Press Out Extra Liquid: Use a fine mesh strainer and press gently with the back of a spoon to remove as much juice as possible.
Substitution: You can use fresh pineapple if you prefer, but keep in mind it may need additional straining for the right texture.

2. Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
Creates a Creamy Base: The pudding mix combines with the pineapple to create a thick, creamy base that’s perfect for folding in other ingredients.
Alternative Flavors: For a twist, try instant coconut pudding for extra coconut flavor or lemon pudding for a tropical zing.
Sugar-Free Option: If you’re looking to reduce sugar, a sugar-free pudding mix works just as well.

3. Sweetened Shredded Coconut
Chewy Texture: Sweetened coconut adds both flavor and a chewy texture that complements the fluff.
Unsweetened Option: If you prefer less sweetness, you can use unsweetened coconut, though the texture will be slightly different.
Toasted Coconut: Toasting the coconut beforehand can add an extra layer of flavor and a bit of crunch.

4. Mini Marshmallows
Soft, Sweet Bites: Mini marshmallows add a pillowy, sweet texture that complements the fluffiness of the whipped topping.
Alternative Add-Ins: If you’re not a fan of marshmallows, you can use small chunks of fruit, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips.

5. Whipped Topping
