Step2: Add Creamy Goodness

Fold in the thawed whipped topping gently until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Carefully fold in the mini marshmallows, sliced strawberries, banana slices, and halved maraschino cherries. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step5: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

Fresh is best: Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent mushiness.
Chill the whipped topping: Keep it cool for easier folding.
Prepare in advance: This dessert tastes even better after a few hours in the fridge.
