Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, gather all your ingredients. I like to set everything out beforehand; it makes the process much smoother! In a large mixing bowl, fold together the whipped topping, crushed pineapple (make sure to drain it well to avoid sogginess), and mini marshmallows. The texture is so pleasing at this point—light and fluffy, and the pineapple adds a beautiful tropical aroma that wafts through my kitchen. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
