Creamy Fruit Salad recipe—fresh, sweet, and perfect for desserts, gatherings, or a light snack.
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 cup apples (diced)
- 1 cup bananas (sliced)
- 1 cup grapes (halved)
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup strawberries (sliced)
- 1 cup mango (diced) — optional but great
- 1 cup cream (whipping cream or fresh cream)
- ½ cup condensed milk (adjust sweetness)
- 2–3 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1–2 tbsp honey (optional)
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the fruit
- Wash and chop all fruits into bite-sized pieces.
- Keep bananas separate until the end (so they don’t brown quickly).
2. Make the creamy dressing
- In a bowl, mix:
- cream
- condensed milk
- vanilla essence
- (optional) mayonnaise and honey
- Whisk until smooth and slightly thick.
3. Combine
- Add all fruits into a large bowl.
- Pour the creamy dressing over them.
- Gently fold everything together so fruits don’t break.
4. Chill
- Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes before serving.
- This helps flavors blend and makes it extra refreshing.
🍨 Serving tips
- Serve cold for best taste
- Top with nuts, coconut flakes, or a cherry for presentation
- Best eaten within 24 hours (especially because of bananas)
✨ Variations
- Add marshmallows for a dessert-style fruit salad
- Use yogurt instead of cream for a lighter version
- Add jelly cubes for a colorful party version
If you want, I can also make a no-condensed-milk version, a healthy diet version, or a fruit salad for large parties (5–10 kg batch).
