This delightful fruit salad with vanilla pudding brings a burst of freshness to your family picnics or weeknight meals. This recipe is easy and delicious, combining the vibrant flavors of assorted fruits with a creamy vanilla pudding sauce. With just 20 minutes of prep time, it’s an easy option for a summer dessert that everyone will enjoy.<\/p>\n
Combine the pineapple chunks, sliced peaches, mandarin oranges, bananas and red apples in a large bowl. Ensure all the fruits are evenly mixed to create a balanced flavor in every bite.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> If you use canned fruit, drain them well to avoid excess liquid.<\/p>\n Whisk together the milk, sour cream, orange juice concentrate and vanilla pudding mix until smooth and well-blended in a separate bowl. This sauce should have a creamy consistency that coats the back of a spoon.<\/p>\n Gently fold the pudding sauce into the mixed fruits until all the pieces are evenly coated. Do not mash the fruits to maintain their texture and appearance.<\/p>\n Cover the bowl and chill the fruit salad in the refrigerator for three to four hours before serving. This gives the flavors time to meld and the pudding sauce time to slightly thicken.<\/p>\n Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will keep the fruit salad and pudding fresh. It’s best to consume the salad within a few days.<\/p>\n Fruit salad with vanilla pudding can last for three days in the refrigerator. However, it’s best enjoyed within the first 24 hours, as the fruits can start to release more juice over time.<\/p>\n Yes, you can prepare the fruit salad a few hours in advance. Mix the fruits and sauce, then cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld together, making the salad even more delicious.<\/p>\n If your instant pudding turns out runny, you can thicken it by adding more instant pudding mix or a small amount of cornstarch dissolved in cold milk. Whisk these into the pudding until it reaches your desired consistency. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken properly.<\/p>\n Choose firm, fresh fruits to keep your fruit salad from getting mushy and avoid over-mixing. Add delicate fruits like bananas and berries just before serving. Draining canned fruits like pineapple chunks and mandarin oranges thoroughly will also help maintain the texture.<\/p>\n You can substitute milk in pudding with non-dairy alternatives such as unsweetened almond, coconut, or oat milk. These options provide a similar creamy texture, ensuring your pudding remains smooth and delicious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Make this fruit salad with vanilla pudding for an easy picnic dessert.

It was the first time and we loved it. And now I'm going to do the -- but I changed... I used fresh mandarins, not canned. And, I left out the apple and added blood orange so it was more tropical. I also did not add the bananas to the larger bowl of salad but sliced them into the individual serving bowls. They get icky otherwise. Also, word to the wise, if you are not making this for a large group, you may wish to halve the recipe. The dressing breaks down and gets watery so only make as much as you will eat within a few hours. Other than that it is awesome.
