INGREDIENTS

  1. One cup caramel pieces,
  2. two teaspoons milk or almond milk,
  3. one cup milk chocolate chips,

  • Firmly pat the mixture into the pan. Press it into the pan with a spatula, your hand, or the bottom of a glass.
  • For 20 minutes, bake the crust until it turns a light golden brown. The crust should be chilled in the fridge for at least 20 minutes, or until it solidifies. A Pyrex dish that is warm or hot should not be put in the freezer.

Frozen Fruit Salad

Frozen Fruit Salad

A delicious and cool dessert, frozen fruit salad is ideal for warm weather or as a sweet palette cleanser following a meal. This meal usually starts with a vibrant spread of fruits, frequently consisting of a combination of berries such as blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries, along with slices of banana, pineapple, and juicy grapes. These fruits are picked because they freeze well without becoming mushy, and because their flavours and textures go well together.

Usually, a creamy ingredient is used with the fruit to give the salad body and richness. Cream cheese, whipped cream, or whipped topping are common additions to this creamy combination. Yoghurt or condensed milk are occasionally added for sweetness. Additionally, some recipes call for micro marshmallows, which add a distinctive sweetness and soft texture.

In order to guarantee fair distribution and avoid crushing the more fragile fruits, the creamy mixture is gently mixed into the fruit when assembling the salad. After that, the blended mixture is transferred into a mould or baking dish. For a more structured look, some variations of this salad arrange the fruit and cream individually.

Ingredients:

  1. Two cups of mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries)
  2. one cup of diced pineapple
  3. one cup of sliced banana;
  4. Half a cup of grapes
  5. 8 ounces of cream cheese
  6. 1 cup of condensed milk
  7. ½ cup of mini marshmallows
  8. ½ cup of lemon juice
  9. and 2 tablespoons Garnish with ¼ cup of fresh mint leaves and chopped nuts, if desired.

Direction:

Fruit Preparation:

  1. Start by cleaning all of the pineapple, grapes, and berries. Pat them dry gently.
  2. Cut the pineapple into bite-sized pieces, quarter the strawberries, and cut the grapes in half.
  3. To keep the banana from browning, cut it into slices and sprinkle them with lemon juice.

Preparing the Creamy Mixture:

  1. Beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth in a big basin.
  2. Condensed milk should be added gradually until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
  3. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream as you gently incorporate it into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Blending Fruits with Creamy Concoction:
  5. To the cream mixture, add the small marshmallows and the prepared fruits.
  6. To prevent breaking the fruit, gently fold everything together.

Freezing:

  • Pour the batter into a mould or baking dish of your choosing.
  • If you like stacked salads, layer the fruit first, then the cream, and so on.
  • Place cling film over the top and freeze for a minimum of 4 hours, or until solid.

Serving Tip

  • About 20 to 30 minutes before serving, take the frozen fruit salad out of the freezer.
  • Scoop into dishes or cut into wedges.
  • If preferred, garnish with a dusting of chopped nuts and fresh mint leaves.

This frozen fruit salad has a thick, creamy texture along with the sweetness and tang of the fruits, making it the ideal summertime treat.
