This is a quick rich and yummy ambrosia, perfect for a crowd. After not being happy with other recipes, I used bits and pieces of what I liked and made my own. Rich and creamy, it's a great dessert in the summertime.

Ingredients

2 (20 ounce) cans crushed pineapple, drained
2 (15 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup maraschino cherries, halved
⅔ (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 (8 ounce) package flaked coconut (such as Baker's®), or to taste
2 ½ cups miniature marshmallows

Directions

Combine pineapple, mandarin oranges, and cherries in a large trifle bowl. Sprinkle pudding mix over top. Fold in whipped topping and sour cream. Add coconut and mix until well combined. Place in the refrigerator until firm, 4 hours to overnight.
Sprinkle marshmallows on top before serving.

Cook's Notes:

Drain the fruit well--runny ambrosia is yucky!

You can add the marshmallows before refrigerating but they will be mushy. It's a matter of preference.
