8 servings
- 1 can (15 oz) mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 can (20 oz) pineapple tidbits, drained
- ½ cup maraschino cherries, drained and halved
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
Chef's tipStandard marshmallows can be cut down; minis melt faster when quick melting matters. - 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup pecan halves, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Spread the drained mandarin oranges and pineapple tidbits in a single layer on a paper-towel-lined sheet pan or colander and pat dry. Excess moisture will thin the dressing, so let them sit for 5 minutes until the surface is no longer wet.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 2–3 minutes.
