• 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut (optional)

• 1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

• 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip), softened

• Fresh maraschino cherries for garnish

Preparation Steps:

1. Prepare the Base:
   In a large mixing bowl, add the cherry pie filling and drained crushed pineapple. Stir gently to combine, making sure the fruits are evenly mixed.

2. Add Creaminess:
   Add the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and fold it into the fruit mixture using a spatula. Stir until the mixture turns smooth and creamy with a beautiful pink color.

3. Incorporate the Fluff Ingredients:
   Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully blended. Then add the mini marshmallows and shredded coconut (if using). Mix lightly until every ingredient is evenly distributed.

4. Chill for Best Texture:
   Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 to 4 hours, or overnight for best results. Chilling helps the marshmallows soften and the flavors blend beautifully.

5. Serve and Garnish:
   Right before serving, spoon the chilled salad into bowls or dessert cups. Top with fresh maraschino cherries, a swirl of whipped cream, or a drizzle of cherry syrup for an elegant, festive presentation.
