Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup grapes, halved
  • 1 cup mandarin orange segments

Creamy Base

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla or cheesecake pudding mix
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) cool whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

Optional Toppings

  • ½ cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts)
  • Extra berries or fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Fruit: Wash, peel, and chop the selected fruits into bite-sized pieces, ensuring everything is fresh and ripe for the best flavor and texture.
  2. Mix the Creamy Base: In a large bowl, combine the instant pudding mix with the sweetened condensed milk. Gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Fruit and Cream Mixture: Carefully stir the chopped fruit into the creamy base, making sure the fruit is evenly coated but not crushed.
  4. Chill for Maximum Flavor: Refrigerate the salad for at least one hour before serving to let all flavors meld and the texture firm up slightly.
  5. Add Optional Toppings: Just before serving, sprinkle chopped nuts or a few extra berries on top to add a finishing touch of flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use cold fruit and whipped topping to maintain a refreshing texture.
  • Select ripe, in-season fruit to enhance natural sweetness and juiciness.
  • Fold gently when mixing to keep fruit intact and avoid crushing.
  • Preparing the salad ahead is encouraged, but add crunchy toppings last minute for best texture.
  • Adjust sweetness by tweaking the amount of sweetened condensed milk or pudding mix based on fruit ripeness.
