Quick & Easy Frozen Fruit Salad

Serving Suggestions

When it comes to serving this sumptuous dish, flexibility reigns supreme. You can either present it as a traditional dessert or push culinary boundaries by using it as a side dish for holiday gatherings. To ensure optimal palatability, pull it out of the freezer around 15 minutes before serving. This allows it to thaw just enough to make cutting and serving a breeze.

Storage Savvy

What to do with leftovers? Simply pop them back into a freezer-safe container. The frozen fruit salad keeps well for up to 2-3 months, so you can continue to enjoy its delightful flavors without a worry. Refrigeration, however, is not recommended as it alters both the texture and flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Mini Marshmallows
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese softened
  • 8 ounces Frozen Whipped Topping thawed
  • 2 cans 15 ounces each Fruit Cocktail in Juice, thoroughly drained
  • ½ cup Maraschino Cherries drained and halved

Instructions

  • Preparation Galore: First, arm yourself with a 9×13-inch dish and spritz it generously with non-stick spray.
  • Cream Cheese Euphoria: In a mixing bowl, utilize either a stand mixer or a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese on a medium-high setting. The goal is a texture that is not just smooth but unequivocally fluffy.
  • Whipped Topping Symphony: Gently fold in the thawed frozen whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Fruit & Fluff Fusion: Add the thoroughly drained fruit cocktail, halved maraschino cherries, and mini marshmallows into the bowl. Stir until all elements are seamlessly blended and cloaked in the creamy base.
  • Freeze & Patience: Transfer this heavenly concoction into your prepped dish. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and exile it into the freezer for no less than 2 hours.
  • The Final Act: When you’re about to serve, liberate the dish from its frozen sanctuary about 10-15 minutes earlier. This is essential to ensure that it’s thawed just enough to be cut into luscious squares.
  • Savor the Magic: Cut, serve, and revel in the sumptuous simplicity of your Quick & Easy Frozen Fruit Salad!
