Q&A

Can I use different fruits?

Yes. Papaya, banana, peaches, blueberries, raspberries, or watermelon can be added.

Can I make it ahead?

Yes. It can be prepared a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated. For the freshest texture, add bananas shortly before serving.

Can I make it without marshmallows?

Yes. Simply leave them out.

Can I make it healthier?

Use Greek yogurt instead of some or all of the heavy cream and reduce or omit the honey.

Can I use canned fruit?

Yes. Drain canned fruit very well before adding it to prevent the salad from becoming watery.

How long does it last?

Store covered in the refrigerator and enjoy within 1–2 days for the best texture.
