Recipe Friday, August 19th - Tropical Dessert
Having just returned from 10 glorious days in Maui, I'm still feeling a little Tropical. 
Tropical Dessert
20 oz. can crushed pineapple, undrained
3 oz. box instant vanilla pudding
1 (11 oz.) cans mandarin oranges, drained
8 oz. Cool Whip, thawed
Beat pineapple and pudding together well. Fold in oranges and Cool Whip to the pudding mixture. Chill.
Thanks once again to an Amish friend in Colorado for this light and easy summer dessert.
And here's a really cute palm tree garnish idea using a lime and cinnamon sticks:
To make palm tree leaves, cut lime in half; remove and discard pulp. Place lime halves, cut side down, on a cutting board. With a pencil, sketch five leaves from bottom to top on each half. Cut out leaves, leaving center intact; make little cuts to create a palm leaf appearance. To create a base for the trees, turn 2 oz. disposable cup upside down; cut two small slits in the bottom. Insert a cinnamon stick in each slit for tree trunks. Break a toothpick in half. Insert pointed ends into center of lime halves; insert broken ends into cinnamon sticks. Submerge the cup in the serving bowl.
Have a great weekend! Try to stay cool.
Blessings,
Beth

Great sounding tropical dessert, can't wait to try it. I make a tropical type with cool whip, Strawberry Jello, cottage cheese and crushed pineapple, one container of each mixed together. Low Calorie if you use all the low cal things like sugar free jello, low fat cool whip and cottage cheese. Still very good. You can eat quite a bit of it. I plan to make yours tomorrow.

I made this last week with low fat and sugar free ingredients. My husband and son ate it up! It was so good. I might throw in a bit of coconut next time and perhaps some tropical fruit. Thank you for sharing!

No, I found the directions for the palm trees in an on-line magazine article. I thought it would go well with the Tropical Salad recipe.
