Note

Ensure the pineapple and mandarin oranges are well-drained to prevent the filling from becoming too watery.

For a dairy-free option, substitute the mayonnaise with a dairy-free alternative and use a dairy-free whipped topping.

This dessert tastes best when made a day ahead, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

The "eggs" listed in the original ingredient list are typically used in the crust for binding, though some variations omit them for a simpler no-cook crust using just butter and mix. The instructions above include them for a firmer crust.
