Light and Easy Fruit Salad

No reviews
- Author: Rachel
Ingredients
Fruit
Sweetened condensed milk
Toasted coconut
Instructions
- Cut up any type of fresh, frozen or canned fruit that you have.
- Place it into a bowl.
- Pour just enough sweetened condensed milk on it to barely coat the fruit until the sweetened condensed milk clings to the fruit. Don’t drown it.
- Serve in parfait glasses if you like.
- Top with toasted coconut.
Notes
Rachel said that since she is the only one in her family who eats fruit, she keeps the sweetened condensed milk in the fridge in a container and then uses what she needs each day for her own individual servings.
The next fruit salad recipe is one I have used for decades and I love to makeit for a refreshing fruit salad in the winter. I keep cans of tropical fruit in my pantry to use for this but you could use fresh fruit if you want – mango, papaya, pineapple, etc.
I like to use a combination of fresh and canned fruit. For some reason, adding one fresh ingredient to anything canned seems to leadpeople to automatically think the whole thing is fresh.

Sounds yummy! Something I do for Christmas breakfast is waffles with fruit. I take a container of whipped topping, the regular size and mix a drained can of tropical fruit, pineapple and a fresh sliced banana, or a drained can of fruit co*cktail. Mix well and place on top of a cooked waffle. My family loves it, and you can prepare it the night before (except add the banana prior to serving to avoid browning).
