🍍 Pineapple Pudding Dessert
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 1 can (20 oz / 565 g) pineapple chunks (with juice)
- 1 package (3.4 oz / 96 g) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk

Instructions
- Prepare the pudding
In a medium bowl, whisk the instant pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. - Add pineapple
Drain pineapple chunks slightly (reserve some juice for extra flavor if desired) and fold into the pudding. - Layer the dessert (optional)
In serving cups or a trifle bowl:- Start with a layer of crushed graham crackers
- Add a layer of pineapple pudding
- Repeat layers until full
- Top with whipped cream
Spread or pipe whipped cream on top. - Chill
Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving so flavors set. - Garnish

💡 Tips
- For a richer flavor, use cream of coconut or sweetened condensed milk in place of part of the milk.
- Add vanilla extract (½ tsp) for extra aroma.
- For a jiggly pudding, mix in ½ tsp gelatin dissolved in warm water before chilling.
If you want, I can also give a layered pineapple pudding trifle version that looks fancy but is super easy to make. It’s a real showstopper! Do you want me to do that?
