Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Canned pineapple tidbits (drained)
- 1 cup Mandarin orange segments (drained)
- 0.5 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 0.25 cup Maraschino cherries (halved, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini marshmallows, drained pineapple tidbits, mandarin orange segments, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts (if using). Gently toss until evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and whipped topping until smooth and well combined.
Add the sour cream and whipped topping mixture to the fruit and marshmallow combination. Gently fold the mixture together until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
If desired, add the halved maraschino cherries and gently fold them into the dessert.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dessert for at least 1 hour, or until well chilled. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the mixture a gentle stir. Serve in small bowls or cups and enjoy!
