EQUIPMENT

▢
large mixing bowl

INGREDIENTS

8 ounces Cool Whip thawed
8 ounces plain greek yogurt
30 ounces canned mandarin oranges drained well
40 ounces canned pineapple tidbits drained well
1½ cups green grapes
16 ounces maraschino cherries drained well
10 ounces mini marshmallows regular or fruit flavored
2 cups shredded coconut
¾ cup chopped walnuts

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the thawed 8 ounces Cool Whip and 8 ounces plain greek yogurt with a rubber spatula until fully incorporated.
Add in 30 ounces canned mandarin oranges, 40 ounces canned pineapple tidbits, 1½ cups green grapes, 16 ounces maraschino cherries, 10 ounces mini marshmallows, 2 cups shredded coconut, and ¾ cup chopped walnuts and stir to combine until all is coated with the cream.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Letting the mixture chill lets the flavors marry, and the marshmallows expand.
Just before serving, garnish with shredded coconut, nuts, and maraschino cherries. Serve chilled.
