2 cups Mini Marshmallows Sweetness and lightness; substitute with larger marshmallows if needed.
1 can Canned Pineapple (chunks or tidbits) Provides juicy sweetness; fresh pineapple can be used for extra crunch.
1 can Mandarin Oranges (canned or fresh) Add vibrant color and a burst of sweetness.
1 cup Coconut Flakes Deliver a chewy texture; opt for toasted coconut for deeper flavor.
1 cup Sour Cream Acts as the creamy base; Greek yogurt can provide a tangier alternative.
1/2 cup Maraschino Cherries Sweet topping for decoration; fresh cherries are a healthier option.

In a large mixing bowl, add the mini marshmallows, canned pineapple, mandarin oranges, coconut flakes, and sour cream.
Stir gently until all the ingredients are well coated with the sour cream. Be careful not to crush the fruits.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Just before serving, sprinkle maraschino cherries on top for a vibrant and sweet finishing touch.

Optional: Drizzle honey over the top for an extra hint of sweetness. Best served cold.
