Old fashioned frozen fruit salad made with cool whip.Ā Made with walnuts and fresh strawberries, this make ahead dessert is the perfect cool treat.
There are few recipes that take me back to my childhood, but when I do stumble onto one I want to make it over and over again. This frozen fruit salad is absolutely a treat to be had. Ā I’ve never been one to shy away from old fashioned recipes, so why not fruit salad – frozen.
This recipe is incredibly easy to make. Ā And because it’s frozen, you can make it days ahead. Ā It hits the mark on all my favorites. Ā Made with strawberries, pineapple and bananas it can be made year around.
To make this frozen fruit salad recipe you will need:
- Cool Whip
- cream cheese, softened
- sugar
- bananas
- large can of pineapple tidbits
- frozen strawberries
- chopped nuts
Whip together the cream cheese, cool whip and sugar until smooth.
In a separate bowl mix together the nuts, bananas, frozen strawberries and pineapple.
Fold in the cool whip mixture until well incorporated.
Place in a serving dish to freeze. Ā You can use a 9×13 or a square pan. Ā I picked something in the middle since I like my fruit salad thick but not too thick. Ā Freeze overnight.
When you’re ready to enjoy, just set out for at least 30 minutes to thaw a bit. Slice and enjoy!

The recipe card has been correct in that you need frozen strawberries but the bananas can just be sliced at room temperature. Thank you so much for letting me know so I can update the post!
