  • Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1012 banana twinkies wrappers removed and cut lengthwise
  • 3.4 ounce box vanilla pudding mix divided
  • 1 ¾ cups whole milk
  • 15 ounce can diced mangos well drained
  • 20 ounce can pineapple slices well drained
  • 16 ounce container whipped topping thawed

Instructions

  1. In a 9×13 baking dish, lay the twinkie slices with frosting side up in a single layer. You may have extras based on spacing.
  2. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the pudding mix in a small bowl. Whisk the remaining pudding mix with milk in a large bowl until thick.
  3. Gently fold in the diced mangos using a spatula.
  4. Pour the pudding mixture over the twinkies and spread it evenly.
  5. Place the pineapple slices evenly over the pudding layer.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk the thawed whipped topping with the reserved pudding mix until slightly thickened.
  7. Spread the whipped topping mixture evenly over the pineapple layer, covering it completely.
  8. Loosely cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Before serving, top with cherries, chopped pecans, and coconut flakes if desired. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

For a delicious twist, add chopped nuts or coconut flakes on top before serving.
Ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed for easier mixing and spreading.
Optional: Let the cake chill overnight for the best flavor.
