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.
