One of our favorite desserts is a 5 minute fruit salad.
Start by opening 2 cans of fruit cocktail (14 oz.) Any brand or type of fruit will work. I use the kind with 100% juice, since the fruit is not drained.
Pour the cans of fruit (with the juice) into a medium-sized bowl. Then, open 2 small boxes of instant pudding. I usually use either vanilla or banana pudding, or one of each.
Sprinkle the pudding mix over the fruit, stirring in the pudding until it has dissolved. It will be slightly thick.
After it is thoroughly mixed, gently stir in 12 oz. of whipped topping.
At this point, you can serve it immediately, or you can refrigerate for 20-30 minutes or overnight.
It is so yummy that my husband loves it, and my kids beg for seconds whenever I make it!
This recipe also makes a great topping for cakes. Substitute a can of crushed pineapple instead of the fruit cocktail and follow the same directions for the recipe. Spread it on a yellow cake or angel food cake, and it is delicious!
