Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 oz Cool Whip ((one small container))
1 package pistachio pudding mix (3.4oz box)
20 oz crushed pineapple (drained)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup Shredded coconut (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Make sure that pineapple is drained first.
  • Stir to fold ingredients together so that pudding dissolves completely and the nuts and marshmallows are evenly distributed.
  • I recommend covering and placing in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes to an hour -- I think it gives the flavors a little extra time to meld together. However, you can serve immediately if you like.

WATERGATE SALAD



Watergate Salad image

The combination of fresh whipped cream with pineapple and marshmallows makes this pistachio-flavored classic an enduring showstopper. Our version adds a bit of cream cheese to the whipped cream, providing a welcome tang to the sweet notes. Although the origin of the name might be cloudy (some say it was a newspaper that renamed Kraft's pistachio pineapple delight with the name of the famous Washington, D.C. hotel), no one will dispute its appeal at the dessert table.

Time 4h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups heavy cream, chilled
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup mini marshmallows
8 maraschino cherries, drained

Steps:

  • Slowly whisk the heavy cream into the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until very smooth, then increase the speed to medium high and beat until medium-stiff peaks form.

  • Fold in the marshmallows and 2 cups of the whipped cream-cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours.
  • To serve, spoon into small bowls and top with the remaining whipped cream-cream cheese mixture, remaining 1/4 cup walnuts and the maraschino cherries.

AUTHENTIC WATERGATE SALAD

I checked all the other recipes here, and each one is a little different in one way or another. THIS is the real deal. I got the recipe from the chef at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, DC where the recipe originated. If you want the same one served there that was made famous there....this is it.
