1 heaping cup pineapple chunks, (drained and patted dry)
1 heaping cup sliced strawberries
1 heaping cup sliced green grapes
11 ounce can mandarin oranges, (drained and patted dry)
1 cup toasted sweetened coconut flakes
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
1/4 cup real mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Spread coconut in a single layer across a baking sheet. Place baking sheet under broiler for about 1 minute or until coconut begins to brown. Remove from under broiler. Stir coconut on pan to keep it from sticking as it cools and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whip heavy cream with a whisk or mixer for approximately 3-5 minutes or until stiff peaks begin to form. As cream whips, sprinkle in the confectioner's sugar. When cream is fully whipped, gently fold in the mayonnaise until fully incorporated.
  • In a large bowl, toss together all fruit except mandarin oranges and 1-2 tablespoons of toasted coconut. Gently fold oranges and whipped topping into the fruit mixture. Top with remaining coconut and serve.
