Ingredients:

  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup grapes, halved
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup mandarin oranges (drained if canned)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Begin by preparing the fruit. Slice the strawberries, peel and slice the banana, halve the grapes, and drain the mandarin oranges if using canned.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared fresh fruit and the blueberries. If you are using optional ingredients like marshmallows or nuts, add them to the fruit mixture as well.
  3. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until fully blended. The mixture should be creamy and smooth.
  4. Slowly drizzle the cream mixture over the fruit, gently folding it into the fruit to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
  5. For added sweetness, you can drizzle a tablespoon of honey over the mixture if desired.
  6. Carefully transfer the fruit salad into a shallow dish or a baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for a firmer texture.
  8. Once frozen, take the dish out of the freezer and let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften slightly before serving. This will make it easier to scoop and enjoy.
  9. Scoop the frozen fruit salad into bowls or serve it directly from the pan. Garnish with additional chopped nuts or extra fruit if desired for added flavor and texture.
  10. Serve immediately for a cool, refreshing treat!
