Ingredients

Scale

Canned Fruit

  • 1 can (15 oz) fruit cocktail, drained (chunky tropical style recommended)
  • 1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

Fresh Fruit

  • 2 large bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 kiwis, peeled and diced

Dressing

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • 1 package (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, mix together the Cool Whip, sweetened condensed milk, and sour cream until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming a creamy base for the fruit salad.
  2. Add canned fruits and bananas: Add the drained fruit cocktail, crushed pineapple, cherry pie filling, and sliced bananas to the bowl. Gently fold these ingredients into the creamy dressing to avoid mashing the fruit, ensuring even distribution.
  3. Incorporate fresh fruits: If using fresh strawberries, blueberries, and diced kiwis, add them now. Gently fold them into the mixture to maintain their texture and freshness without breaking them down.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 4 hours. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the salad to chill thoroughly.
  5. Serve: Once chilled, serve the Better Than Sex Fruit Salad cold. Enjoy this luscious, creamy dessert as a perfect finish to any meal or festive gathering.

Notes

  • For best texture and flavor, avoid overmixing to keep fruits intact.
  • The salad can be prepared a day ahead; flavors improve with time.
  • Substitute fresh fruits based on seasonality or preference.
  • Use low-fat or fat-free sour cream for a lighter version, though texture may vary slightly.
  • Keep the salad refrigerated until just before serving to maintain freshness.
