Method
 

Mixing Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant pistachio pudding mix and the entire can of crushed pineapple with juice. Whisk for about 3-5 minutes until glossy.
  2. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping with a rubber spatula, being careful not to over-mix. Continue until evenly incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chopped pistachios and, if desired, the mini marshmallows or cottage cheese. Ensure even distribution within the mixture.
  4. Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.
  5. Once chilled, give the Pistachio Fluff a gentle stir and serve in a lovely dish, garnishing with additional chopped pistachios and maraschino cherries if desired.
