When I first made this as a last-minute dessert for a barbecue, everyone kept coming back for seconds and now it is requested for every special occasion.
Ingredients
Fruit cocktail: packed in juice for a base of mixed fruits and sweetness choose the chunky tropical blend if you can for bigger bites of fruit
Crushed pineapple: for a juicy tart kick pick a can with no added sugar if you want to control the overall sweetness
Cherry pie filling: for color and jammy texture look for one with whole cherries visible through the can
Bananas: for silkiness and mellow flavor use ripe bananas with no green for best taste and no mushiness
Mini marshmallows: for an extra fluffy bite go for the white ones as they hold up best
Shredded coconut: for tropical flavor try toasting lightly for depth if you want a richer finish
Whipped cream: for a creamy topping use full-fat for the thickest swirl
