In a bowl, add 1 cup of cold whipping cream and whip until it just begins to thicken.

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla to the whipped cream and continue whipping until it holds its shape.

Add 2 cups of pre-cooked rice to the whipped cream mixture.

Add 1 cup of maraschino cherries and 3/4 cup of drained pineapple to the bowl.

Eyeball and add about 1 cup of miniature marshmallows to the mixture.

Mix the ingredients together until well combined.

Slice 1 large banana into fairly thin slices and gently fold it into the mixture to avoid mashing it.

Transfer the mixture into serving dishes, limiting the amount to control servings.

Garnish each serving with a maraschino cherry on top for color.
