  2. Mix thoroughly until the pudding begins to thicken.
  3. Gently fold in 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut, ½ cup chopped nuts (macadamia or pecans recommended), and 1 cup mini marshmallows.
  4. Mix until evenly distributed.
  5. Add 1 (8 ounce) container of thawed Cool Whip, or your favorite whipped topping.
  6. Gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
