Ingredients
- 15 ounces mandarin oranges (canned, drained)
- 20 ounces pineapple chunks (canned, drained)
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup red seedless grapes (halved)

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained mandarin oranges, drained pineapple chunks, mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, and halved grapes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whipped topping and sour cream until smooth and well combined.
Pour the whipped cream mixture over the fruit mixture and gently fold everything together using a spatula. Be careful not to crush the fruit.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften.
