FROZEN FRUIT SALAD

Ingredients:

• 2 cups mixed frozen fruits (such as berries, peaches, mangoes, and grapes)
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping (thawed if using frozen)
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, for added crunch)

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen fruits and mini marshmallows. You can use a mix of your favorite frozen fruits or choose one type, like mixed berries.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the whipped cream (or whipped topping) and Greek yogurt. Stir them together until well blended. The yogurt adds a tangy flavor and a creamier texture.
3. Add honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract to the whipped cream and yogurt mixture. Adjust the sweetness to your liking. Mix everything until it’s well incorporated.
4. Pour the whipped cream and yogurt mixture over the frozen fruits and marshmallows. Gently fold everything together until the fruits are evenly coated and the marshmallows are distributed throughout the mixture.
5. If you’re adding nuts for extra crunch, fold them in now.
6. Transfer the fruit salad to a large, shallow dish or a container with an airtight lid. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
7. Cover the dish or container and place it in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours, or until the salad is frozen solid.
8. Before serving, remove the frozen fruit salad from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. This will make it easier to scoop.
9. Serve the frozen fruit salad in individual bowls or dessert cups. You can also garnish with fresh berries, mint leaves, or a drizzle of honey if desired.
10. Enjoy your delightful and chilled frozen fruit salad! It’s a perfect treat for any summer gathering or as a refreshing dessert after a warm-weather meal.
