Ingredients
To make Nana’s Frozen Fruit Salad, you’ll need:
1 can (20 oz) of crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup of sour cream
1 cup of whipped topping (or whipped cream)
1 cup of mini marshmallows
1 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work best)
2 cups of mixed fruit (such as diced strawberries, bananas, or grapes)
Optional: a pinch of sugar for added sweetness
Directions
Prepare the fruit: Wash and chop your fresh fruit into bite-sized pieces. Drain any excess liquid to avoid a watery salad.
Mix the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and whipped topping until smooth.
Incorporate the ingredients: Fold in the mini marshmallows, nuts, and drained pineapple. Gently stir in the chopped fruits to ensure even distribution.
Freeze: Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and freeze for at least 4–6 hours or until firm.
Serve: Remove from the freezer a few minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly. Cut into squares or scoop out portions as desired.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: Nana’s Frozen Fruit Salad pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprig of mint.
Storage: Keep leftovers tightly covered in the freezer for up to one week. Allow a few minutes to thaw before enjoying again.
