Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 ounces) fruit cocktail, drained (chunky tropical style recommended)
  • 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
  • 2 large bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 kiwis, peeled and diced

Creamy Base

  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • 1 package (8 ounces) Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions

  1. Mix the Creamy Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cool Whip, sweetened condensed milk, and sour cream. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended, forming a creamy base for the fruit salad.
  2. Add the Fruits: Drain the fruit cocktail and crushed pineapple thoroughly. Add them to the creamy mixture along with the cherry pie filling. Gently stir to combine, taking care not to break up the fruit pieces to keep texture.
  3. Incorporate Fresh Fruits: Slice the bananas and add them to the mixture. Then fold in the fresh strawberries, blueberries, and diced kiwis gently to ensure even distribution without mushing the fruit.
  4. Chill the Salad: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least four hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the salad to set to a creamy, enjoyable consistency.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Before serving, give the salad a final gentle stir. Spoon the salad into a serving dish or individual bowls and enjoy the creamy, fruity dessert that’s better than sex.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid mushiness.
  • Drain canned fruits well to prevent excess liquid diluting the creamy base.
  • Can be prepared a day ahead and kept refrigerated for enhanced flavor.
  • Substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
  • Optional: Add chopped nuts like pecans for extra crunch.
