Ahhh yes — the legendary Better Than Sex Fruit Salad 😏🍓
Sweet, creamy, zero baking, and dangerously addictive.
Better Than Sex Fruit Salad
Ingredients
- 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, well drained
- 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 1 cup seedless grapes (halved)
- 1 cup mandarin oranges, drained
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional but great)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
- Gently fold in Cool Whip until creamy.
- Stir in crushed pineapple.
- Fold in coconut, marshmallows, and fruit.
- Add nuts if using.
- Chill at least 1 hour (overnight = even better).
Tips for perfection
- Drain fruit REALLY well or it’ll get soupy.
- For extra indulgence, sprinkle a little brown sugar on top before chilling.
- Want it lighter? Use reduced-fat cream cheese and Cool Whip — still hits.
Variations
- Tropical: Add mango + banana (toss banana in lemon juice).
- Berry-only: Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries.
- No marshmallows: Swap for white chocolate chips.
This stuff disappears fast, so maybe… double it. 😉
