   Whisk the mixture for about one minute until it visibly thickens.

   Gently fold the whipped topping into the milk mixture with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to deflate the topping.

   Tip van de kok: Overmixing can make the filling less airy and light.

5. 5

   Add the well-drained crushed pineapple, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut to the bowl.

   Ongeveer 1 min

   Tip van de kok: Ensure the pineapple is drained thoroughly to prevent a watery filling.
