Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, pour the vanilla pudding mix and add the well-drained crushed pineapple. Stir vigorously for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens and develops a creamy texture.
  2. Gently fold in the 8 oz of Cool Whip using a spatula, ensuring a uniform mixture without lumps.
  3. Gradually incorporate the marshmallows, coconut, chopped nuts, and shredded carrots into the creamy base, mixing gently after each addition.
