Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the banana cream instant pudding and crushed pineapple (with juice) until thickened, about 2-3 minutes of vigorous stirring.
  2. Gently fold in the maraschino cherries, diced strawberries, miniature marshmallows, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and sliced bananas to create a colorful mixture.
  3. Fold in half of the whipped topping gently to maintain a light texture, then add the remaining whipped topping and fold until smooth.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and texture to set.
  5. Before serving, gently stir and garnish with extra chocolate chips, sliced bananas, or nuts.
