Whipped Coconut Milk Fruit Salad

It’s Monday! Hope it’s the beginning of a great week for all of you and that you had a wonderful weekend.

It’s time once again, for This Weeks Cravings and our theme this week is Picnic Foods.

In other words, what would you take with you on a picnic? We’re looking for new twists on picnic foods, or even just traditional picnic food recipes.

This fruit salad is delicious and really doesn’t even need to be prepared ahead of time. I will warn you however, it has a lot of coconut flavor, so if that’s not your thing – you won’t like it.

But if you do love coconut, this delicious salad is for you.

It is so good;  creamy whipped coconut milk smothering fresh fruit slices, and the best part is – you can add and delete any fruit you want.

Ingredients
  

  • 13.5 ounces coconut milk made into Whipped Coconut Milk Cream, see recipe below on how to make that
  • 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ¼ cups coconut flakes sweetened or unsweetened – your choice
  • 4 Kiwi Sliced
  • 2 cups strawberries sliced
  • 2 bananas sliced
  • 1 cups pineapple you can use canned pineapple but be sure to drain completely
  • 15 ounces mandarin oranges or you can slice up fresh oranges
  • 1 cups cherries halved, remove the stems and pits

Instructions
 

Whipped Coconut Milk Cream:

  • You need to chill the cans of coconut milk overnight in your refrigerator.
  • When you're ready to make the salad, open the cans and drain off the clear liquid.
  • Transfer the cream to a mixing bowl and beat for about 1 minute.
  • Add the powdered sugar and continue beating until the coconut cream is nice and thick and fluffy.

Putting it all together:

  • Add all of the fruit to a large bowl. Sprinkle the coconut flakes on top. Gently fold the whipped coconut milk cream through the fruit.
  • For best results refrigerate for at least an hour or two, but its not necessary – tastes just as yummy fresh, but the cream is a little looser. Enjoy!!

  1. You and I are destined to host a picnic someday together. Can you even imagine the amount of ranch we could bombard everyone with?

    Also, I want this. My mother used to make this gawd-awful fruit salad when I was younger, so I normally stay away from the stuff due to those memories. Until now. Because I want the coconutty goodness.

    1. Someday girl, we are totally getting together and we’ll picnic/BBQ together – and oh holy heck I can imagine the ranch dressing – think of all the things we can put it on 😉 How about if we DON’T put it on this though. haha Ranch might make everything better with the exception of… uhm. This. haha {hugs}
