Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 10" store made angel food cake
1 can(s) crushed pineapple, drained, 20 oz
1 jar(s) pineapple preserves, 12 oz.
1 c sweetened flaked coconut, toasted (reserve 1 tablespoon for garnish)
2/3 c toasted macadamia nuts, chopped (reserve 1 tablespoon for garnish)
2 box instant coconut cream pudding mix, 3.4 oz each (4 serving size)
3 c cold milk
1 pkg frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided, 16 oz.

Steps:

  • 1. Toast coconut AND nuts. Spread each out on a separate baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 350 F for 12-14 minutes, stirring often to avoid burning. Coconut and macadamia nuts are toasted when they are lightly browned and fragrant. Coconut will toast faster than the nuts.
  • 2. Cut or tear angel food cake into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  • 3. In a medium-size bowl, combine crushed pineapple and 1/2 jar of pineapple preserves. Mix well and set aside.
  • 4. In a large bowl, combine the instant pudding mix and milk. Using a wire whisk, mix well. Then add 1 cup of the whipped topping. Set aside.
  • 5. Using a trifle bowl or a large glass bowl, layer ingredients: half of the cake pieces for the first layer.
  • 6. Next, half of the pineapple.
  • 7. Next, half of the coconut and half of the macadamia nuts.
  • 8. Spread half of the pudding over everything. Repeat layers using the rest of the cake, pineapple, coconut, macadamia nuts, and then the pudding.
  • 9. Generously spread top with whipped topping. Garnish with reserved toasted coconut and nuts.
  • 10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
