FROZEN FRUIT COCKTAIL SALAD (TREAT)
Steps:
- Cream sugar, cream cheese and extract together. Fold in whipped cream and fruit cocktail until blended; then spoon into a mold or bowl or ice cube trays. (I use cupcake papers filled to about 1/2 to 2/3 full in a cupcake pan). Place Maraschino cherries on top to decorate, or you can fold them into the salad at the same time you fold in the fruit cocktail. Freeze until ready to serve/eat.

Steps:
- In a large bowl add the fruit cocktail with juice, pineapple tidbits with juice, drained mandarin oranges and the strawberries. Sprinkle the vanilla pudding mix over the fruit and juice and stir well. Fold in the cool whip. Refrigerate the creamy fruit cocktail salad for an hour then stir just before serving. *I get the Fruit Cocktail that has extra maraschino cherries. Try to get the brand that is in juice or light syrup. The heavy syrup is not recommended for this recipe.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and fresh fruits: This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your fruit cocktail salad. Look for fruits that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
- Use a variety of fruits: This will make your salad more visually appealing and flavorful. Some good options include strawberries, blueberries, bananas, grapes, oranges, and pineapple.
- Cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces: This will make them easier to eat and will help prevent the salad from becoming too messy.
- Add some juice or syrup to the salad: This will help to keep the fruits moist and flavorful. You can use orange juice, pineapple juice, or a simple syrup made with sugar and water.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help to keep the fruits crisp and refreshing.
Conclusion:
Fruit cocktail salad is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With its variety of colors and flavors, fruit cocktail salad is sure to please everyone at your next party or gathering.
