Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla pudding mix with the well-drained crushed pineapple. Stir until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold in the whipped topping (Cool Whip) using a spatula, aiming for a homogenous blend without lumps.
Carefully add the marshmallows, coconut, chopped nuts, and shredded carrots to the mixture, folding gently.
Transfer the combined mixture into a large serving bowl or individual cups, smoothing out the top.
Refrigerate for a minimum of 2-3 hours to allow flavors to meld and the salad to set.
Just before serving, sprinkle extra coconut on top for garnish.
