To make egg mixture:

Whisk in ¼ c heavy cream and lemon juice. Cook, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken slightly. Cool completely, at least 30 minutes.

To whip cream:

In a large bowl, use electric mixer on high speed to beat remaining ¾ c heavy cream into soft peaks. Gently fold into the cooled egg mixture.

To assemble, chill:

In another large bowl, toss together cherries, pineapple, orange, marshmallows, and almonds. Pour egg and cream mixture over fruit. Toss gently until combined. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours and up to 2 days.
