Steps:
- Fold together whipped topping and pistachio pudding mix until well blended.
- Empty can of crushed pineapple into this mixture and fold in gently until combined.

Tips:
- For the creamiest ambrosia, use a combination of sour cream, Cool Whip, and cream cheese. Let the Cool Whip slightly thaw before mixing it in to make it easier to incorporate.
- If you don't have any canned pineapple, you can use fresh pineapple. Just be sure to chop it into small pieces.
- Toasted coconut adds a nice crunch and flavor to the ambrosia. If you don't have any toasted coconut on hand, you can toast some yourself by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking it in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 5-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- For a more colorful ambrosia, add some chopped maraschino cherries or fresh berries.
- Serve the ambrosia chilled for a refreshing summer treat.
