GRANDMA'S 5 CUP CREAMY FRUIT SALAD RECIPE
Yield 6
Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the oranges, pineapple, marshmallows, coconut, and sour cream.
- Stir until completely mixed together.
- You can eat it immediately after mixing, but we recommend that you refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours before serving so that the sour cream can be sweetened by the fruit.
- Try these other variations: add in chopped walnuts or pecans for an added crunch; to make it sweeter, stir in a little powdered sugar - it will also offset the tartness from the sour cream; add in a small jar of maraschino cherries; add in a can of drained fruit cocktail; add in dried cranberries and a dash of cinnamon; stir in 2 Tablespoons of instant lemon pudding powder for a lemon-taste; use pina colada flavored yogurt in place of the sour cream; top with corn flakes for an added crunch; add diced apples (if you don't like coconut, apples are a great alternative because of the crunch); add grapes (red or green) that have been halved; add diced bananas; add some marshmallow creme in with the sour cream to sweeten it up.

CREAMY FRUIT SALAD
While this fruit salad may be too much for some people, we love the concept. It is almost like a rich and creamy dip made into a fruit salad. The mixture of fruit is delicious. But, there's enough creamy sauce that you can really pack more into the recipe. We think adding grapes, blueberries, or raspberries would be amazing....

Steps:
- Drain pineapple and oranges reserving juice in small bowl.
- In large bowl combine fruit.
- Sprinkle pudding mix into reserved juice; mix until combined and slightly thickened.
- Fold into fruit until well combined.
- Edited based on reviews: The sauce will be somewhat thin, kind of like a glaze. If you would like it thicker and creamier, mix less of the reserved juice into the pudding mix.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, seasonal fruits.
- To prevent the fruit from browning, add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to the salad.
- If you're using canned fruit, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the salad.
- For a creamier salad, use full-fat sour cream or yogurt.
- If you're using low-fat or nonfat sour cream or yogurt, you may need to add a little bit of sugar to the salad to taste.
- For a healthier salad, use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar.
- Garnish the salad with fresh mint or basil for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Creamy fruit salad is a refreshing and delicious treat that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a healthy and refreshing snack, give creamy fruit salad a try!
