Ingredients
• 1 cup miniature marshmallows
• 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip or homemade)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened (or dairy-free alternative)
• 1 ripe banana, sliced
• ½ cup crushed pineapple, well-drained
• ½ cup halved strawberries
• ¼ cup maraschino cherries, quartered (plus extra for garnish)
• 2 tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for crunch)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
- Gently fold in whipped topping until light and creamy.
- Add marshmallows, banana slices, pineapple, strawberries, cherries, and nuts (if using).
- Fold gently to combine—don’t overmix to keep the fruit intact.
- Transfer to a serving dish or individual cups.
- Chill at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and texture firm up.
- Garnish with extra cherries or a sprinkle of coconut before serving.
✨ Serve cold as a sweet side or dessert—great for potlucks, BBQs, or summer parties!
💡 Make it ahead: Assemble up to 4 hours in advance. Add bananas just before chilling to prevent browning.
