Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup seedless grapes (halved)
- 1 banana (sliced)
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
Mix-ins
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Creamy Topping
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, banana, and crushed pineapple to create the fresh fruit base of the salad.
- Make the Creamy Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whipped topping, sour cream, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined, forming the creamy dressing for the fruit.
- Combine Fruit and Cream: Carefully fold the creamy mixture into the bowl of mixed fruit, ensuring all the fruit is evenly coated without smashing the berries or banana slices.
- Add Pecans: Stir in the chopped pecans evenly to distribute crunch throughout the salad.
- Freeze the Salad: Spoon the mixture into a 9×13-inch dish or into individual serving cups. Cover the container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until the salad is firm and frozen solid.
- Serve: Before serving, let the salad sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Notes
- For extra flavor and texture, try adding mini marshmallows or shredded coconut to the salad mix.
- This frozen fruit salad can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the freezer.
- Use a combination of fresh and frozen berries if fresh ones are not available to maintain flavor and texture.
