Fruit and Ice Cream Dessert Salad

A tasty and healthy treat of fruit and ice cream! We often crave something delicious and sweet for dessert. Especially if there are children in the family, you can't go without sweets. But you want to please the household not only with tasty, sweet dishes but with healthy ones too. Fruit is the best base for a dessert. You can make all kinds of interesting treats from it. Fruit is baked and fried, but it keeps more of its vitamins if it isn't heat-treated. A good recipe to point to is a fruit salad dressed with plain yogurt — for those watching their figure and diet — or with ice cream, for the kids.

Step 1:

Get the ingredients for the fruit salad ready. You can use absolutely any fruit you like, based on taste, availability, and preference; it's best to use seasonal fresh fruit. The main thing is that the flavors go together and don't spoil the taste of the dessert. Wash the fruit. Peel the bananas and cut the flesh into small cubes.
Step 2:

Peel the fuzzy skin off the kiwi too and cut the flesh into cubes. The kiwi skin is said to contain more vitamins than the flesh. So you don't have to throw it away — you can use it in other dishes. Or, if you've managed to keep it whole as a little cup, you can set jelly inside it for a pretty treat.
Step 3:

Wash the apricots, cut them in half, remove the pits, and cut the flesh into cubes. The apricots should be ripe and sweet but not too soft, so they don't immediately turn to purée.
Step 4:

Nectarines will also enhance the fruit salad with their wonderful aroma and flavor, so add them if you have any — first washing them, removing the pits, and dicing them.
Step 5:

Wash the sweet cherries, pit them, and cut the berries into cubes or large pieces.
Step 6:

Put all the prepared fruit in a deep bowl. You can choose the dressing however you like, too: low-calorie plain unsweetened yogurt, sour cream, or ice cream. Dress it with sour cream, yogurt, or heavy cream.
Step 7:

Mix. Put the salad in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill a little. Spoon the fruit salad into dessert glasses. If you like, you can sprinkle it with grated chocolate and chopped nuts. If you're serving the salad with ice cream, put the fruit in a dessert glass, top it with a scoop of slightly softened ice cream, and serve right away. Enjoy!
