We call it "Snow Salad" in my family.

1 - 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1/4 c. maraschino cherry juice
1 carton Cool Whip
16 maraschino cherries, cut into pieces
2 small cans mandarin oranges
1 large can pineapple chunks
2 cups mini marshmallows

Blend cream cheese with cherry juice, then mix in Cool Whip. Drain fruit and fold into Cool Whip mixture. Fold in mini marhsmallows. Refrigerate for several hours before serving.

5 cup fruit salad is what we called them in our family & they're popular at family gatherings!
mandarin oranges
crushed pineapples
sour cream
coconuts
mini marshmallows

Never had cherries in ours but don't see why you couldn't....

But Ambrosia is what im thinking you're looking for? If so, i'll update on that one per your request.

Can someone please tell me what 'Cool Whip' is? We don't have anything called that in Scotland!

Sorry, Cool Whip is a kind of whipping cream. But, it has some artificial ingredients in it.

I don't know that real whipped cream would work. The cream doesn't have any stabilizers in it and I'd be afraid that all the liquid that is inherent in the fruit would break down the cream and it would get runny.

I might be wrong, but it was just a thought. Maybe someone has already tried it and knows for sure?
