How to Make Fruit Salad with Condensed Milk
Step 1: Prepare the Fruit
Wash the fruit thoroughly. Peel the fruits that require peeling, then remove seeds, pits, and any unwanted parts. Cut all the fruit into small, bite-sized pieces.
Tip: The fruits listed here are suggestions. You can use seasonal fruits or whatever is fresh and available. Because condensed milk is naturally sweet, slightly tart fruits can help create a better balance of flavors.
Step 2: Mix the Fresh Fruit
Place the prepared apples, bananas, kiwi, peaches, oranges, papaya, mango, and grapes in a large bowl.
Gently toss the fruit together. Be careful not to mix too vigorously, especially because bananas and other soft fruits can become crushed.
Step 3: Add the Condensed Milk
Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the fruit. Gently mix until the condensed milk is evenly distributed throughout the fruit.
You don’t have to use the entire can. Start with a smaller amount and add more until the fruit salad reaches your preferred sweetness and creaminess.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
For extra freshness, garnish the fruit salad with fresh mint leaves, a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon, or a few ice cubes.
Cover and refrigerate until well chilled. Serve cold and enjoy this refreshing fruit salad with condensed milk.
Recipe Tips
- Choose ripe but firm fruit for the best texture.
- Cut the fruit into similar-sized pieces for easier serving.
- Add condensed milk gradually to control the sweetness.
- Avoid using too many very sweet fruits because condensed milk is already sweet.
- Gently mix the fruit to prevent soft fruits from becoming mushy.
- For the freshest flavor, chill the salad before serving.
- Add bananas shortly before serving if you are preparing the salad in advance.
