2. Make the Sauce
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
- Fold in the whipped topping, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Mix gently until the sauce is light, fluffy, and well blended.
3. Combine and Chill
- Pour the creamy sauce over the fruit and gently toss until all the fruit is evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
4. Serve and Garnish
- Give the salad a gentle stir before serving to redistribute the sauce.
- Add a dollop of extra whipped topping on top, sprinkle with toasted coconut or chopped nuts, and garnish with mint leaves if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve as a refreshing dessert after a heavy meal.
- Pair with grilled dishes at a summer barbecue for a sweet contrast.
- Enjoy as a guilt-free breakfast or snack—it’s loaded with fresh fruit, after all!
Pro Tips for Success
- Use Ripe Fruits: The riper the fruits, the sweeter and juicier the salad will be.
- Add Variety: Experiment with other fruits like mango, kiwi, peaches, or raspberries for a unique twist.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the salad up to a day in advance, but add bananas and apples just before serving to keep them fresh.
- Double the Sauce: If you love an extra creamy texture, double the sauce recipe for an even richer experience.
