Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (480ml) Very cold
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (60g) For stabilization
  • 20 oz crushed pineapple (567g) Aggressively drained
  • 3 cups miniature marshmallows (150g) White
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut (100g) Divided use
  • 10-12 count maraschino cherries With stems
  • 1/2 cup fresh pineapple wedges Small triangles

Equipment

  • 1 Clear glass trifle bowl To showcase the aerated layers.
  • 1 Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer Used to achieve voluminous whipped cream peaks.
  • 1 Rubber Spatula For gentle folding.

Method
 

Create the Aerated Base
  1. In a cold bowl, combine heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. Beat on medium-high until stiff peaks form and the mixture is voluminous and pale cream-colored.
  2. Using a spatula, gently fold the drained crushed pineapple, marshmallows, and half of the coconut into the whipped cream until just combined.
Chill and Assemble
  1. Spoon the mixture into a clear glass trifle bowl, maintaining the billowy, moist texture. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Top with the remaining snowy white coconut. Arrange maraschino cherries and fresh pineapple wedges on top before serving.
