This Frozen Fruit Salad was a special request from Chicken Legs. One of his favorite lunch spots recently closed. He would eat there when he visited his parents. It was a "salad" place. He would get a scoop of chicken salad, egg salad, and frozen fruit salad for dessert. Since we already have great recipes for chicken salad and egg salad, he asked me to make a frozen fruit salad for him.
After some research and tweaking, we came up with this delicious Frozen Fruit Salad recipe. Cream cheese, cool whip, cherries, pineapple, strawberries, coconut and pecans. Just mix up the salad, scoop it into cupcake liners and pop in the freezer. SO easy! You can make this Frozen Fruit Salad ahead of time and keep frozen until ready to serve. You want to pull this out of the freezer at least 10 minutes before serving. This would be great for all your summer cookouts! It is a great way to beat the heat!!
