In a large mixing bowl, pour the instant lime gelatin mix.
Add 1 cup of boiling water to the gelatin mix and stir until fully dissolved (about 2 minutes).
Stir in 1 cup of cold water to cool down the mixture.
Add the can of crushed pineapple (with its juice) to the bowl and mix well.
Fold in the mini marshmallows, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until all ingredients are combined and the mixture becomes creamy and light green in color.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a serving dish and cover.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set and chilled.
Serve cold as a dessert or side dish. Garnish with additional whipped topping, nuts, or a sprinkle of coconut, if desired.
