Time 15m

Yield 6-7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 fresh cantaloupe
15 ounces dark sweet cherries (1 can or 3 and 1/2 cups fresh)
2 cups seedless grapes (whatever kind you prefer)
2 fresh bananas
2 cups fresh strawberries
1 apple
3 cups marshmallows
8 ounces strawberry yogurt
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (or "a dash")
1 tablespoon honey (or "a squirt")
2 1/2 cups Cool Whip (10 ounces)

Steps:

  • Chop all fruit into bite sized pieces. You CAN cut the grapes and cherries, but I usually do not.
  • Throw all the fruit into a very large bowl and add cool whip, yogurt, marshmallows.
  • Add powdered sugar, cinnamon, and honey.
  • I usually freeze this, but tastes good in the refrigerator, too! Although, fruit doesn't keep as long in refrigerator, and the freezy treat is tastier to me :D.
