Ingredients

1 cup fresh apple, your favorite variety, peeled, cored and diced
1 cup canned or fresh pear drained or peeled, cored and diced
1 cup canned or fresh peaches drained or peeled, cored and diced
1 cup banana peeled and sliced
1 cup seedless grapes cut in half
fresh or canned pineapple optional, drained
fresh orange or canned mandarin oranges optional, peeled and diced
¼ cup mayonaise
1 cup heavy cream, 35 %, measurement is a rough estimate
½-1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Wash, peel and chop fruit into bite sized pieces. Place into large mixing bowl. Drain all canned fruit and pat dry if needed.
Add mayo and toss to coat all the fruit. Add more as needed.
Next, using a hand held mixer, whip your heavy cream until stiff peaks form, a few minutes on high.
Slowly and gently add to your fruit salad. Stir until all of the fruit is coated with whipping cream.
Add chocolate chips. Place into a large enough serving bowl to hold all of your fruit salad or place in bowls for each individual serving.
Garnish with extra chocolate chips and extra sliced grapes if desired.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!

Notes

Add sliced bananas within a few hours of serving, or toss them with a little lemon juice to slow browning without changing the dressing’s flavor.
Stir in oranges just before serving to keep their juice from thinning the creamy dressing.
Double the ingredients as needed, keeping the same mayonnaise-to-heavy cream ratio for a creamy, balanced dressing.
