Instant Vanilla Pudding Fruit Salad Recipe via @pmctunejones

Instant Vanilla Pudding Fruit Salad Recipe simply delicious, this salad is equally as good with fresh fruit or convenient canned fruit.

The secret is using dry instant pudding. It combines with the fruit juice to create a slightly sweet, rich sauce that coats every bite of the fruit.

This is my favorite, go-to fruit salad recipe. I serve it as a side and it’s a great addition to your brunch buffet.

I also like to serve my Instant Vanilla Pudding Fruit Salad Recipe over pound cake. Choose any number of pound cakes from my Pound Cake Series to smother with fruit salad. I would suggest the Whipping Cream Pound Cake, Million Dollar Pound Cake, Mile High Pound Cake, Lemon Cream Cheese Pound Cake, or Blue Ribbon Pound Cake.

This is the kind of recipe you want to share but I also hate to share! It’s so good and so simple. I almost hate to share it with anyone because I know they’ll start taking it to potlucks and there goes my ‘go-to’ dish!

Instant Vanilla Pudding Fruit Salad Recipe

  1. Use fresh, frozen, or canned fruit.
  2. One exception to the above, I prefer to always use canned pineapple chunks in juice. It can be packed in light syrup or heavy, your preference.
  3. You may choose a regular or sugar-free instant pudding mix. I prefer vanilla flavor the best, but in actuality, any flavor will work.
  4. After adding the instant pudding to the pineapple juice, allow it to thicken before adding to the fruit. It will not be as thick as the pudding recipe from the box but should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. You can add 1 to 2 more teaspoons of instant pudding mix if necessary.
  5. Quantities are guidelines, can’t find or don’t like raspberries? Omit them and use more of your favorite. This recipe is highly adaptable to what you like best.

    Can you use this recipe with frozen fruit such as the frozen bags from Gordons? Would I thaw the fruit first?

    We can’t have pineapple and was wondering if I could substitute canned mandarin oranges and mix the pudding with the mandarin orange juice.

        Do bananas hold up without turning brown?

          I make it the day of and the bananas hold up, but I do not recommend making it a day ahead. They don’t really turn brown but they get mushy. You could make it before and add the bananas last minute.

    Looks delicious and refreshing. I make one similar to this and it was always a hit at parties. Mine is a dip with the fruit and vanilla pudding. I had forgotten about it so I will pull out the recipe and fix it this summer. Thanks

    Paula, do you mean 1 cup of raspberries twice? I’m making this for a potluck on Sunday and omitting the raspberries anyway. Thanks for cool the idea.

    Wishes for tasty dishes,
    Linda
