  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant pistachio pudding mix with the crushed pineapple and its juice. Stir vigorously for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens and is fully blended.
  2. Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  3. Carefully add the Cool Whip or whipped topping, folding it into the pudding mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
  4. Stir in most of the chopped pistachios, leaving a few aside for garnish.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle the reserved chopped pistachios on top and, if desired, adorn with maraschino cherries.
