Tropical Delight

This is amazing. Anytime I've made it for a desi dawat or gathering (minus one evening with Mina because she doesn't like nuts), it's been inhaled and raved about. A friend of mine passed it along to me, dubbing the dish "Jannah in a Bowl"

1 box instant Pistachio pudding mix
1 8oz container cool whip
1 can mandarins (drained and cut in halves)
1 can pineapple tidbits (drained)
1/2 bag of crushed walnuts

Follow directions on Pistachio pudding box to make pudding (it'll say to add 2 cups of cold milk and whisk for a couple of minutes). Into that, add the container of cool whip and mix thoroughly. The mixture now should be a light green color. Add the remaining ingredients, mix, and cover in the fridge for a couple of hours.

Serve as dessert.

  5. I tried this and my family seemed to like it, except I didn't have all the ingredients so I substituted a bunch. I think it'd taste much better if I made it this way!
