Ingredients

• 1 (20 oz) can pineapple chunks, drained

• 1 (15 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained

• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

3. Add extras (if using) – Stir in coconut and nuts for extra texture and flavor.

4. Chill – Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors meld.

5. Serve cold – Enjoy as a side dish or dessert!

Tips & Variations

✔ Use fresh fruit – Swap canned fruit for fresh strawberries, bananas, or grapes (add just before serving).
✔ Make it tropical – Add maraschino cherries or diced mango.
✔ Lighter version – Use sugar-free pudding mix + Greek yogurt instead of condensed milk.
✔ For a crowd – Double the recipe for big gatherings!
