Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Add the sour cream and fold into the whipped cream until evenly combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the mini marshmallows, coconut flakes, oranges, maraschino cherries, and pineapple.
- Pour the sour cream mixture over the salad ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated in the sour cream mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Top with more cherries if desired.

Notes
- Rinsing and drying the cherries before using them will keep the salad from turning pink from any juices that may leak out.
- Be sure to drain the fruit really well if you're making this salad more than 1 hour ahead of time. You can put all the fruit in a colander and let it sit to drain and dry for about 1 hour (if you want to wait that long). This will keep the salad from getting soupy while it sits.
