Right from the start - No obviously it is not real frog eyes within this salad. It's Acini de Pepe, a really small pasta, similar in dimensions to tapioca pearls. They're a bit more firm than tapioca pearls.
Many of the recipes I saw online designed a juice flour sauce within the stovetop. I went a rather different route however i thought the outcomes were scrumptious. Please be aware that you'll want to organize ahead with this as it must chill overnight before serving. Enjoy!
Notes: Should you choose to use Instant vanilla pudding, you can test while using method at Simply Delish . which would be to include a complete cup of reserved pineapple / mandarin orange juices. Basically would use instant vanilla pudding, I'd mix things up inside a separate bowl using the fruit drinks to make certain that it's mixed completely, adding it as being directed.
Frog Eye Salad
Constitutes a large bowl
- 8 oz. Acini de Pepe, (Based in the pasta aisle)
- 2 small cans crushed pineapple or tidbits, drained and reserve juice
- 1 (11 oz) can mandarin orange slices, drained
- 1 (4.6 oz) box prepare serve vanilla pudding
- 1 (8 oz) Awesome Whip
- 8 oz. small marshmallows
- Optional garnish: Maraschino cherries and Mandarin orange slices
- Optional include: shredded coconut
1. Prepare the vanilla pudding as directed around the box. Pour right into a bowl and put within the fridge until chilled. (You might want to put saran wrap within the pudding, right facing it, so a pudding skin does not form. Whether it does, just scrape them back after it's chilled).
2. Prepare the pasta as directed around the box. Rinse with cold water and drain.
3. Add some pasta to some large bowl. Add some fruit, the reserved pineapple juice, and stir. Add some chilled vanilla pudding, awesome whip and marshmallows. Chill and let sit overnight before serving.
