Paradise Pudding is a rich and creamy pudding with pineapple, coconut and pecans. Every bite is HEAVENLY and whisks you to the beaches of Oahu. Enjoy the view!
Mix two small packages of Instant Puddin with 2 cans of crushed pineapple, juice and all. You can use vanilla, coconut cream or white chocolate pudding. I often can only find vanilla flavored to which I add some coconut extract. Make it work!
Add in some heavy cream and cocnut extract if needed.
Add the coconut and chopped pecans and give it all a good mix.
Stir in 1 tub cool whip and mix well.
Spread in a serving dish and top with more cool whip, toasted coconut and chopped pecans.
OR spoon into pretty single-serving dishes. Beautiful.
