FROZEN FRUIT SALAD

I found this one day while waiting in the Dr's office in a small paper. I copied (really, I didn't tear it out) the recipe and made and froze it that evening. It was good to have when my girlfriends dropped over about lunchtime. I served it with an iced glass of tropical tea. We all three decided it would make a good fruit dessert also. I used the peach pie filling. Dh tried it that evening and even tho he usually doesn't care for fruity stuff, declared it a winner. I like it because it freezes and keeps well to have on hand for unexpected guest. Its also quick and easy to prepare. Prep time does not include the freezing time.

Mom would make this to take to dinner parties, and specifically to Nick and Shirley's house because they had lots of kids and they all enjoyed this wonderful treat. I even included this in a recipe book I helped put together for a Head Start fundraiser. It is incredible!

6 oz cream cheese
1 c mayo
1 jar(s) maraschino cherried, diced
1 can(s) crushed pineapple, drained
2 c mini marshmallows
1 pkg chopped pecans
1 pt cream
powdered sugar

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fruits. This will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include berries, melon, pineapple, and grapes.
  • Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to eat and will help the fruit freeze more evenly.
  • Add some sweetness. If your fruit is tart, you may want to add some sugar or honey to taste. You can also use fruit juice or flavored yogurt.
  • Freeze the fruit salad in a single layer. This will help it freeze more quickly and evenly. You can use a baking sheet or a freezer-safe container.
  • Store the fruit salad in the freezer for up to 6 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.

Frozen fruit salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite fruits all year long. It's a great option for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.
