1 1/2 cups diced pineapple, canned or fresh

2 medium bananas, sliced

1 lb strawberries, sliced

1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, or shredded coconut

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 1/2 cups mini marshmallow

1 cup heavy cream

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 Tbsp powdered sugar

2 tsp cornstarch

1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt

1.  In a large mixing bowl, toss together oranges, pineapple, bananas, strawberries, coconut flakes, and lemon juice.  Then, add in marshmallow.

2.  In a separate large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to whip cream and vanilla extract.  Slowly add in powdered sugar and cornstarch.  Continue whipping until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.

3.  Add whipped cream into the fruit bowl. Toss to coat until ingredients are evenly dispersed throughout the salad.  Chill until ready to serve.
