Title: Sweet 4-Ingredient “Salad” That’s Really the Star Dessert
My mother-in-law Sue calls this a “salad”… but let’s be honest, it’s the sweetest, creamiest dessert on the table! Every time I make it, the dish comes back completely empty—sometimes it feels like it’s been licked clean. It’s incredibly simple, quick to prepare, and always a crowd favorite.
Ingredients:
1 can (about 400g) fruit cocktail, drained
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup whipped topping (or thick cream)
½ cup shredded coconut
Instructions:
In a large bowl, add the drained fruit cocktail.
Stir in the mini marshmallows and shredded coconut.
Gently fold in the whipped topping until everything is well coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors blend.
Optional Add-Ins:
Chopped nuts for a little crunch
Maraschino cherries for extra sweetness
A splash of vanilla extract for added flavor
Serving Tip:
Serve chilled for the best taste and texture. It’s light, fluffy, and guaranteed to disappear fast—so you might want to make extra!
