Notes
For a creamier texture, substitute heavy whipped cream for the whipped topping. You can also mix in a splash of coconut or vanilla extract for added flavor. Customize with fruits like diced mango, banana, or berries for a fruity twist. Use fresh pineapple for a fresher taste, though it may require adjustments in texture.
