Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pineapple chunks
- 1 cup Red seedless grapes
- 1 cup Green seedless grapes
- 1.5 cups Strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 1 cup Mandarin oranges (drained, if canned)
- 1 cup Miniature marshmallows
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, red grapes, green grapes, sliced strawberries, and mandarin oranges. Set aside.
In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, use a hand mixer (or a whisk) to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the whipped topping, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until fully combined and the dressing is smooth.
Carefully fold the creamy dressing into the bowl of fruits. Stir gently to ensure all the fruit is evenly coated without mashing them.
Add the miniature marshmallows to the fruit salad and fold them in gently.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the fruit salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and transfer to a serving bowl or dish. Optionally, garnish with a sprig of mint or additional fresh fruit.
