Drain the canned mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks thoroughly to remove excess liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the mandarin oranges, pineapple chunks, mini marshmallows, and shredded coconut.
Add the sour cream to the bowl and fold it into the mixture until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dish to chill.
Before serving, give the ambrosia a quick stir to ensure everything is evenly distributed. Serve chilled and enjoy!
