Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of mixed frozen fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pineapple chunks, and peaches)
- 1 cup of mini marshmallows
- 1 cup of whipped cream or whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt (plain or flavored, like vanilla)
- 1 tablespoon of honey (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
- Thaw the Frozen Fruits:
- Place the mixed frozen fruits in a large bowl.
- Let them sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes until they partially thaw. This makes them easier to mix.
- Prepare the Creamy Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, combine the whipped cream or whipped topping with the Greek yogurt.
- If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon of honey and mix well.
- Combine Fruits and Cream:
- Add the partially thawed fruits to the whipped cream and yogurt mixture.
- Gently fold the fruits and cream together until they are evenly coated. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Mini Marshmallows:
- Fold in the mini marshmallows. They will add some extra sweetness and a delightful texture to the salad.
- Chill the Salad:
- If the mixture seems too soft, you can place it in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to firm up a bit before serving.
- Serve:
- Once the frozen fruit salad is ready, serve it immediately, or for a firmer texture, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the freezer for a few hours.
- Garnish with additional fruits, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey before serving, if desired.
