I like to have fruit salads in the freezer during the summer months for a quick, cool dessert. I like the toasted coconut on this recipe. It makes it look very pretty. A defrosting tip for this recipe – don’t defrost it in the microwave. The marshmallows melt and it ruins the look of the dessert. (It still tastes great!)
