    How to Make Marshmallow Fruit Salad

    • Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until it forms into whipped cream. Gently fold in the sour cream.
    • Fold in the marshmallows, coconut, mandarin oranges, cherries, grapes and pineapple.
    • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

    Tips and Tricks

    • Maraschino cherries will cause the whipped cream to turn a pinkish red color. It’s best to add them right before serving. 
    • Do not over-mix the salad. It will cause the creamy dressing to deflate.
    • Warm temperatures can affect the quality of whipped cream. Use store-bought Cool Whip if you plan to have the salad at room temperature for an extended period of time. Cool Whip can be kept at warm temperatures for up to two hours without melting.

    How to Store Marshmallow Fruit Salad

    Marshmallow fruit salad must not be left out for more than two hours. The whipped cream dressing may begin to melt after 30 minutes depending on the temperature. It’s best to serve it directly from the fridge. Leftover salad should be placed in an air-tight container and refrigerated for up to three days. 

    Can I Use Cool Whip?

    Yes! Store bought Cool Whip can be used in place of whipped cream and will last longer at room temperature without melting. 

    Other Fruit Options

    Marshmallow fruit salad is traditionally made with maraschino cherries, pineapple and green grapes but feel free to swap them out with your favorite fruits instead.
