Exotic Ambrosia Delight Recipe Walkthrough

Start by gathering all your ingredients and a large mixing bowl. Toss in the pineapple chunks, mango cubes, kiwi slices, and papaya cubes. Gently mix them to ensure an even distribution of these colorful fruits.

Next, sprinkle the shredded coconut over the mixed fruits, followed by the cooked tapioca pearls. Using a spatula, fold these into the fruit mixture gently to maintain the integrity of the fruit pieces.

In a separate bowl, combine the whipped cream, lime juice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until everything is well mixed. Pour this creamy mix over your fruit and fold it in carefully, ensuring every piece is coated with the luscious cream.

Finally, add the mini marshmallows and give the salad a gentle stir. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
