Creamy Fruit Salad comes together fast and is made with strawberries, blueberries, grapes, mandarin oranges, and sweetened condensed milk.<\/em><\/p>\n

A 30-MINUTE 3 STEP RECIPE<\/h2>\n

I know this salad will almost look and sound too simple \u2013 and it is! I absolutely love using sweetened condensed milk in fruit salads because I almost always have a can in my pantry and I can whip this up super fast and it is seriously SO good! This\u00a0delicious Creamy Fruit Salad\u00a0is a simple to make blend of fresh berries, juicy grapes, and mandarin oranges. And of course, you can customize this however you like using your favorite fruits \u2013 this is less of a recipe and more of an idea. <\/p>\n

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:\u00a0<\/h2>\n
\n
What other fruit options can I try?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

You can swap any of the fruit options out. Another simple option to try would be pineapple chunks, blackberries, or raspberries. You could try watermelon, but I would be careful with that one since the watermelon will release a lot of juices. If you\u2019re eating it right away, you might be alright, but if you\u2019re storing leftovers or making this ahead of time, it may become really watery with the watermelon.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Can I make this ahead of time?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Yes, you can! Make it, cover it and store it in the fridge. Give it a good stir once you\u2019re ready to enjoy it again later. Also, keep in mind what fruit you\u2019re using if you plan to make it ahead since some fruit will release a lot of juices as it sits.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Why did the apples turn brown?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Apples naturally start to brown once they\u2019ve been cut open. The oxygen in the air starts to oxidize the apple slices and will turn them brown overtime. If you spritz them with a little fresh lemon juice, it will help prevent them from turning brown. If you don\u2019t want to use the lemon juice, you can just omit them.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

How long are leftovers good for?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days in a covered container.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • sliced strawberries<\/strong> \u2013 I like my slices kind small. I just don\u2019t like big ole hunks of fruit in my fruit salad \u2013 ha!<\/li>\n
  • blueberries<\/strong> \u2013 as I said above, any berry works here. I often make this with blackberries and raspberries 9yum!)<\/li>\n
  • green and red grapes<\/strong> \u2013 I definitely recommend slicing them in half for easier eating. <\/li>\n
  • large red apple<\/strong> \u2013 see my Frequently Asked Questions above on how to keep apples from turning brown. I would definitely use any apple flavor you love. I like Fuji apples but good ole Mcintosh work as do green apples if you like that bit of tang. <\/li>\n
  • mandarin oranges<\/strong>\u2013 be sure to drain these really well. You could also just cut up an orange if you didn\u2019t want to use mandarin oranges. <\/li>\n
  • sweetened condensed milk<\/strong> \u2013 so you have to be careful when grabbing a can of sweetened condensed milk. I don\u2019t know why stores put them so close to the evaporated milk and the cans look about the same size. So just pay attention when you go to grab a can. Look for sweetened condensed milk. It is thick whereas evaporated milk is just a liquid and won\u2019t work here.<\/li>\n
  • fresh mint leaves<\/strong> \u2013 this is totally optional and just makes it look pretty so don\u2019t sweat it if you don\u2019t have it on hand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
