GRANDMA'S 5 CUP CREAMY FRUIT SALAD RECIPE

Grandma's 5 Cup Creamy Fruit Salad Recipe image

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges (drain well)
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple (drain well)
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup sour cream

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.

MANDARIN CREAM DELIGHT

Mandarin Cream Delight image

I got this recipe from Cooking Light magazine--it is wonderful, and wherever I take it, there are never any leftovers. I'm posting the "lightened" version. I usually use the full fat versions of the sour cream, instant pudding mix, and whipped topping, but that's just how my family likes it!

Time 27m

Yield 16 bars, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

9 tablespoons butter or 9 tablespoons margarine, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges in light syrup, undrained
1/4 cup sugar
1 (16 ounce) carton low-fat sour cream
1 (8 ounce) carton nonfat sour cream
2 (3 1/2 ounce) packages vanilla instant pudding mix or 2 (3 1/2 ounce) packages sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (8 ounce) container frozen reduced-calorie whipped topping, thawed
mint sprig (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°.
To prepare crust, combine the butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed with hand-held mixer until light and fluffy (about 2 min.). Add flour and salt to butter mixture; beating at low speed until well-blended.
Pat dough into a 13" X 9" baking dish coated with cooking spray, and pierce bottom of dough several times with a fork. Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool crust on a wire rack. Turn oven off.
To prepare filling, drain mandarin oranges over a large bowl, reserving 1/2 cup juice. Combine juice, 1/4 cup sugar, sour creams, and both boxes pudding mix in a large bowl. Gently fold in the mandarin orange segments. Spoon orange mixture over crust, spreading evenly. Top with whipped topping. Chill 1 hour. Garnish with mint, if desired.

Tips:

Use fresh and ripe mandarins: The fresher and riper the mandarins, the better your cream delight will taste. Look for mandarins that are plump and heavy for their size, with a deep orange color.
Zest the mandarins before you juice them: The zest of the mandarins contains a lot of flavor, so it's important to zest them before you juice them. Use a microplane grater to zest the mandarins, or use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest in long strips.
Strain the mandarin juice: Straining the mandarin juice will remove any pulp or seeds. This will give you a smooth and creamy cream delight.
Use heavy cream or whipping cream: Heavy cream or whipping cream will give your cream delight a rich and creamy texture. If you use milk instead, your cream delight will be thinner and less creamy.
Sweeten the cream delight to taste: The amount of sugar you add to your cream delight will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount of sugar and add more to taste.
Chill the cream delight before serving: Chilling the cream delight before serving will help it to set and make it more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Mandarin cream delight is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you like it sweet or tart, creamy or light, there is a mandarin cream delight recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give mandarin cream delight a try. You won't be disappointed!
