Seeing CaliforniaJan's photo had me making this one - made a scaled down version which has me knowing this one is company quality. Can't wait to make it for family and friends! Other then not having access to a fresh coconut I made as posted (used flaked coconut as I do in many of my fruit salads.) Loved it!! ZWT 4.

Great combination of flavors! I modified the proportions by using two pineapples only and doubling the amount of cashews and coconut. I made the full amount of cream sauce, but used slightly less once I mixed everything. I took this to a family gathering and everyone really liked this fresh and different fruit salad. The recipe didn't indicate what type of coconut- so I used fresh coconut that I shredded and toasted myself. Prepared for ZWT4. Thanks for sharing!
