Create a creamy, crowd-pleasing fruit salad using pudding mix for a sweet, simple dressing. This recipe brings back happy memories and is perfect for your next gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 6 cups mixed fresh fruit (like grapes, strawberries, pineapple, mandarin oranges)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk until fully combined.
  2. Stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  3. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain. You now have your creamy dressing.
  4. In a large bowl, combine all your prepared mixed fruit.
  5. Pour the pudding mixture over the fruit. Gently toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated.
  6. Cover the fruit salad and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. This lets the flavors meld.

Notes

  • Use any combination of fruit you love. Canned fruit works if you drain it well.
  • Make this a day ahead for the best flavor and texture.
  • For a richer taste, use whole milk in the pudding.
