Ingredients:<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

12\u201315 servings of Nana\u2019s Frozen Fruit Salad<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One container of softened cream cheese (8 ounces)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

whipping cream until soft peaks form, about 1 cup<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3\/4 cup of sugar, granulated<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 One 20-oz can of pineapple chunks, well drained<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 One ten-ounce container of raspberries or strawberries, gently defrosted and diced<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 One eleven-ounce can of drained mandarin oranges<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Half a cup of pecans, chopped\u2013 Two sliced ripe bananas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 One-third cup of maraschino cherries<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 One lemon\u2019s juice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions:<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Cream the sugar and cream cheese in a large bowl until well combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Toss in the whipped cream gently until everything is incorporated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, stir in the mandarin oranges, cut strawberries, and crushed pineapple (after draining), along as the creamy mixture. Toss the fruits to combine them evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Spread out the chopped pecans and halved maraschino cherries evenly across the mixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. To keep the banana slices from browning, mix them with the lemon juice in a small bowl. Finally, add the bananas to the salad by gently folding them in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sixth, equally distribute the fruit salad onto a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Put in the freezer for at least four hours, or until it becomes solid.Step<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7: Take it out of the freezer and give it a 10\u201315 minute rest before serving. Enjoy after cutting into squares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips and Variations Substitute lower-fat or Neufch\u00e2tel cheese for the cream cheese, and use light whipped topping instead of heavy cream, for a lighter version. Toasted pecans will bring out even more of their natural nuttiness. Feel free to use whichever fruits are in season or that you want in this recipe; it\u2019s quite versatile. Delightful variations may be achieved by using peaches, mangoes, or even a combination of berries. A dash of rum or orange liqueur might weave in an elegant note if you\u2019re seeking to enhance the taste profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never forget to pat dry any fruits that are canned or frozen if you want your salad to keep its creamy texture. Add a touch of elegance by plating each slice on a bed of lettuce for a visually appealing and healthy presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy!<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
