Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 15 regular-sized marshmallows ((not mini marshmallows))
- 12 ounce can cherry 7-Up soda
- 8 ounce block cream cheese, (softened)
- 3 ounce box cherry gelatin mix (JELL-O) ((smaller box))
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 16 ounce jar halved maraschino cherries, (drained)
- 22 ounce can mandarin oranges, (drained)
- 3 bananas, sliced ((don't slice until right before stirring in))
- 8 ounce tub whipped topping (COOL WHIP), (thawed)
Instruction
- In a sauce pan over medium heat, combine marshmallows and cherry 7-Up. Whisk together frequently until melted. Remove from heat.
- In a separate large bowl, using an electric mixer, combine cream cheese, cherry gelatin mix and lime juice until smooth.
- Slowly stir in marshmallow/7-Up mixture to cream cheese mixture until combined well.
- Stir in drained maraschino cherries, drained mandarin oranges and sliced bananas (slice the bananas just before adding so they don’t turn brown).
- Finally stir in whipped topping.
- Note: Do not over stir this or the mandarin oranges will break up too much. You want to see those whole pieces of fruit in this.
- Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Optional: garnish servings with a lime twist and a maraschino cherry.
