- 1 pound acini de pepe cooked according to package directions
- 1 3.4-ounce box vanilla instant pudding
- 2½ cups pineapple juice
- 1½ cups pineapple diced
- 1 cup grapes cut in half
- 1 cup mandarins segmented
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions
- Cook the acini de pepe according to the directions on the package. After you cook and drain the hot water, run cool water over the pasta to cool it down. Strain the pasta and put it in the fridge to continue to cool.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the instant pudding mix and pineapple juice together. Whisk for a couple of minutes, or until it thickens slightly and there are no lumps. Set aside to continue to thicken.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the whipping cream and whip until it forms soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the thickened pudding mixture with a spatula. Then, fold in the cooled acini de pepe, fresh fruit, shredded coconut, and marshmallows.
- Store in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Enjoy!
