01 - 8 oz container whipped topping (non-dairy or dairy-free alternatives available)
02 - 1 cup mini marshmallows (halal-certified, no gelatin)
03 - 1 cup canned pineapple chunks, drained (or fresh pineapple, chopped)

03 - Fold in the mini marshmallows carefully using a spatula, maintaining their airy texture.
04 - Add the drained pineapple chunks and mandarin orange segments. Gently fold to distribute evenly.
05 - Mix in the shredded coconut and maraschino cherries, if using. Optionally, add chopped walnuts or pecans and orange zest for extra texture and citrus flavor.
06 - Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or individual bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to set and meld flavors.
07 - Serve the fluff chilled. Optionally garnish with additional fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Ensure fruits are thoroughly drained to prevent excess moisture from altering texture.
02 - Halal-certified and non-dairy ingredient options can be used to suit dietary needs.
