Marshmallow Fruit Salad (Ambrosia Salad)

1. If you plan to prepare this salad in advance, it's essential to thoroughly drain the fruit to prevent the salad from becoming too watery. You can place all the fruit in a colander and let it drain and dry for about an hour before using. This step will help maintain the salad's desired consistency as it sits.
2. In a medium-sized bowl mix the heavy cream together with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form.
3. Stir in the sour cream until it becomes homogenous.
4. Next, in a large bowl toss together the mini marshmallows and coconut with your well-drained pineapple, maraschino cherries and oranges.
5. Chop the nuts, ensuring they remain in small, bite-sized pieces. These nuts can include a variety, such as walnuts, almonds, and pecans, which are also added to the bowl.
6. Pour the whipped cream mixture over, stirring everything together until well-combined and all the ingredients are coated in the cream.
7. Cover the bowl and leave in the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Enjoy!
