This Sour Cream Fruit Salad is so easy to whip up, and you can use any fruit you have on hand. The sour cream brown sugar sauce is delicious!

I tweaked a simple fruit dip recipe to come up with this fruit salad.  The sauce is just two ingredients, brown sugar and sour cream. It can be whipped up in just minutes! It’s perfect for picnics, barbeques, and even family dinners.

I almost always have sour cream in the fridge, so this is a really handy salad recipe for me. I like to use fat free sour cream, but you can use whatever you like. You can also switch it up to use whatever fruit you have on hand. Strawberries are also really tasty. Hope you like it!

How to make Sour Cream Fruit Salad:

Ingredients:

  • sour cream (light and fat free work fine)
  • brown sugar
  • fruit of your choice (I used apples, blueberries, pineapple chunks, and sliced bananas)

Whisk the sour cream and brown sugar together in a large bowl till the brown sugar is dissolved. Add fruit and stir till well coated.

That’s it! So simple, so yummy.

      I listed the amounts of everything in the recipe card, so I’m not sure what you are asking. You can of course use as much fruit as you would like.

    Delicious! Used full fat sour cream because it is required for other uses.

      It’s even more creamy and decadent with full fat sour cream, and I use that when I have it on hand. 🙂
