Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup whipped topping (thawed)
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 15-ounce can mandarin oranges (drained)
- 1 20-ounce can pineapple tidbits (drained)
- 1 cup maraschino cherries (halved and drained)
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and whipped topping. Gently stir until well blended and smooth.
Add the mini marshmallows, mandarin oranges, pineapple tidbits, maraschino cherries, and sweetened shredded coconut to the bowl.
If desired, fold in chopped pecans for added crunch and flavor.
Gently mix all the ingredients together until evenly coated with the creamy mixture, being careful not to break apart the fruit.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften.
Before serving, give the mixture a gentle stir and transfer to a serving bowl. Optionally, garnish with additional coconut, cherries, or pecans.
Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful holiday treat!
