Method

1
If using fresh pineapple, trim the skin, core, and cut into bite-sized chunks (canned pineapple can be used as-is).
2
Drain the orange segments, mandarin oranges, grapefruit, and pineapple thoroughly in a colander, pressing gently to remove excess juice so the salad doesn't turn watery.
3
In a large bowl, combine all the drained fruit.
4
Sprinkle the powdered sugar and coconut flakes evenly over the fruit.
5
Pour in the fruit juice or cream of coconut.
6
Using a rubber spatula, fold gently just until everything is coated — avoid stirring vigorously, which will break down the delicate fruit segments.
7
Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour, ideally overnight, to let the flavors meld and the salad chill through.
8
Give one final gentle fold and serve in a chilled bowl.
