Ingredients
- 1 can 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 can 20 ounces crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 can 15 ounces mandarin oranges, drained and chopped
- 1 cup maraschino cherries drained and halved
- 1 cup chopped mixed nuts e.g., walnuts, pecans, optional
- 2 bananas sliced
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- Whipped cream or additional sour cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
Mix the Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and lemon juice. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the Fruits:
- Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, chopped mandarin oranges, halved maraschino cherries, and sliced bananas into the milk mixture. If using, also add the chopped mixed nuts.
Include Marshmallows:
- Fold in the mini marshmallows until everything is evenly mixed.
Freeze:
- Pour the fruit salad mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish or individual serving cups. Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Serve:
- Remove the fruit salad from the freezer about 15-20 minutes before serving to slightly soften for easier scooping.
- Serve in individual bowls, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a spoonful of sour cream if desired.
