“Better Than Sex Fruit Salad” is a popular dessert-style fruit salad name used for a sweet, creamy fruit dish. The name is playful and refers to the idea that the dessert is extremely indulgent—not that it has any special health or medical effect.
A typical version includes:
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 2 cups grapes (red or green), halved
- 2 cups pineapple chunks
- 2 cups mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
- 1 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Creamy dressing
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 2–3 tablespoons honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Mix in whipped topping, vanilla, and sweetener.
- Gently fold in the fruit.
- Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Add marshmallows or coconut just before serving if desired.
Tip: For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese and whipped topping. It will still be creamy while adding protein and reducing added sugar.
