  4. Drain the crushed pineapple in a sieve over a bowl, pressing gently to remove excess moisture.
  5. In a large bowl, mix the chilled cranberry compote with the drained pineapple until evenly combined.

  7. Incorporate the thawed whipped topping until light and airy; avoid overmixing.
  8. If using, fold in the chopped pecans carefully to maintain texture.
  9. Transfer to a decorative serving dish and layer for presentation.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  11. Garnish with mini marshmallows, nuts, or mint before serving.
