Here’s a creamy, crowd-pleasing Better Than Sex Fruit Salad — sweet, fluffy, and perfect for potlucks or holidays.
🍓 Better Than Sex Fruit Salad
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 can (15 oz) mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup seedless grapes (halved)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix (dry, do NOT prepare)
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Combine fruit
In a large bowl, gently mix pineapple, mandarin oranges, strawberries, and grapes.
2️⃣ Add pudding mix
Sprinkle the dry vanilla pudding mix over the fruit and stir well. The fruit juices will activate and thicken it.
3️⃣ Fold in creamy ingredients
Gently fold in whipped topping and mini marshmallows. Stir in coconut and nuts if using.
4️⃣ Chill
Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours before serving to allow flavors to blend and mixture to thicken.
Tips
- Make it the night before — it tastes even better after chilling.
- Swap vanilla pudding for cheesecake pudding for extra richness.
- Add bananas just before serving to prevent browning.
- For a lighter version, use sugar-free pudding and light whipped topping.
