I am a cold treat person.

Retro Frozen Fruit Salad

Simply Recipes / Sarah Crowder

Shave ice, ice cream, paletasthese are the sweets I crave when dinner is done.

With a little tinkering, I came up with a reimagined version that pays respectful homage to the original.

It’ll look like a terrazzo tile studded with little bits of fruit and nutsa beauty to behold.

Frozen fruit salad is as much a vibe as it is a recipe.

What I love most is how adaptable it is.

Use your favorite nuts and fruit.

Just dont skip the mini marshmallowstrust me, they add a nice buoyancy.

My six-year-old loves to help me make this almost as much as she loves to help me eat it.

Allow the strawberries to macerate for at least two hours or overnight in the fridge.

This will soften the berries and amplify their flavor, making the texture and taste perfect when frozen.

When the strawberries are ready, it’s possible for you to start on the salad.

Scrape the whipped cream into a separate bowl.

Then add the whipped cream to it and mix until combined.

Drain the macerated strawberries, reserving the liquid for another use.

If using individual silicone molds, allow them to rest at room temperature for five minutes before serving.

I like to top mine with chopped pistachios, more strawberries, and berry coulis (sauce).
