📝 Preparation Steps
1
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla and mix on medium speed until smooth, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Add the heavy cream and beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about ⏱️ 1 minute ⏱️ 15 seconds. Remove 1/2 cup of the whipped cream mixture, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the pineapple and pudding mix until dissolved. Gently fold in the marshmallows and remaining whipped cream mixture with a rubber spatula, taking care not to overmix and deflate. Cover and refrigerate until the pistachio mixture is chilled and set, about ⏱️ 1 hour.
3
To serve, gently fold 3/4 cup of the pecans into the pudding mixture and divide among 8 bowls. Top each with a dollop of the reserved whipped cream mixture, a sprinkle of the remaining pecans, and a cherry.
