  • 8 ounces whipped dessert topping
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup flaked coconut

Helpful hints

  • Look for 11-ounce cans of mandarin oranges and purchase 3 cans.
  • Acini di Pepe pasta is very tiny balls of pasta used mainly as soup pasta. If unavailable, orzo pasta may be substituted; however, the frog eye affect may be altered.
  • To reduce the carbohydrate content, people with diabetes can replace the sugar with Splenda® sweetener and omit the marshmallows. Carbohydrate count is reduced to 21 grams per 1/2-cup serving.
