Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup mandarin orange segments, drained
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cup shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh cherries, pineapple chunks, and mandarin orange segments. Gently toss to distribute the fruits evenly.
Add the mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans or walnuts (if using) to the bowl. Toss gently to mix.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, prepare the dressing. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer or whisk.
Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, mixing until fully combined and creamy.
Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy. Take care not to over-mix to maintain the light texture.
Pour the dressing over the fruit mixture and gently fold everything together until the fruit is evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and optionally garnish with a few additional cherries or a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
Serve chilled as a refreshing dessert or side salad and enjoy!
