Notes

You can use any fruit that you want, we chose the fruit that we have in this recipe to make it tropical.
Use frozen and canned fruit if you'd like. Make sure the frozen is thawed and drained and the canned is drained well.
You can absolutely double this recipe for larger gatherings.
Substitute cool whip for the heavy whipping cream, use about 1 cup.
This is a very versatile salad and can use multiple different fruits so have fun with it and create new fun flavors.
Eat this as a salad in bowls of you can use cinnamon chips, cookies, or other fruit to use it as a dip as well.
