Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1/2 cup Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey
  • 1/2 cup cold milk
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • Ground cinnamon (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Whisk pudding base: In a large bowl, whisk pudding mix, Fireball, and milk until thickened (about 2 minutes).
  2. Fold in fluff: Gently fold in whipped topping until fully combined.
  3. Add mix-ins: Stir in marshmallows, drained pineapple, cherry pie filling, and nuts (if using).
  4. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Serve: Dust with ground cinnamon before serving. Keep chilled until ready to eat.

Notes

  • For less alcohol flavor: Reduce Fireball to 1/4 cup and increase milk to 3/4 cup.
  • Make it kid-friendly: Omit whiskey and add 1 tsp cinnamon extract + 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
  • Storage: Keeps covered in refrigerator for up to 3 days (texture softens over time).
  • Presentation: Serve in martini glasses for an elegant touch.
