Frozen Fruit Salad Cupcakes

By srumbel

Made with whipped cream, sweetened condensed milk and a few fruits (pineapple, banana and cherries, to be exact), they are also easy to make. An easy, no-bake treat. So light and sweet it will satisfy those that prefer things less sweet as well as those that really like sweet. The fruit adds just the right amount sweetness and flavor without being too much. Truly perfect for a beautiful spring or summer day.

Ingredients

• 1 12-oz container Cool Whip

Preparation

Step 1

1. Pour pineapple juice over bananas.
2. Chop cherries into fourths. I used about 12 cherries, but you can use as many as you like. Make sure you reserve enough cherries to add to the top of the cupcakes when done, if desired.
3. Mix cool whip, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and almond extract together.
4. Add cherries, pineapple, bananas (not pineapple juice), and 2 tbsp of cherry juice from the jar to the cool whip mixture and mix well.
5. Scoop mixture into cupcake panss lined with cupcake liners.
6. Put cupcake pans into the freezer and allow to completely freeze.
7. Garnish with whipped cream and a cherry, if desired.
