Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sweet cherries (pitted and halved)
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained if canned)
- 1 cup Seedless red grapes (halved)
- 1 cup Mandarin orange segments (drained if canned)
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Cherry pie filling
- 2 tablespoons Slivered almonds (optional, for garnish)
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet cherries, pineapple chunks, red grape halves, and mandarin orange segments. Toss gently to evenly distribute the fruits.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks begin to form.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue beating until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mixed fruits using a spatula, ensuring the fruits are evenly coated.
Drizzle the cherry pie filling over the salad and gently fold it in until the mixture has streaks of cherry and whipped cream. Avoid overmixing to maintain a visually appealing presentation.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or individual dessert cups. If desired, garnish with slivered almonds and fresh mint leaves for added crunch and color.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
