Notes
- You can change things up and leave out the mini marshmallows or nuts.
- If you want a chunkier texture use a can of pineapple chunks instead of crushed pineapple.
- If you don't like pineapple, then a can of mandarin oranges will work as a substitute.
- Make sure you chill it for at least an hour before serving, so the flavors can deepen.
- Garnish with whipped cream and fresh cherries for a beautiful presentation.
