Containers:

Rigid, plastic containers with lids, 9x13 or other metal or glass dishes that can be covered with foil or freezer wrap. This salad may also be frozen in cupcake liners and placed in a freezer bag.

Assembly Directions:
Drain pineapple. In a large mixing container, cream the sugar and cream cheese together. Add strawberries, pineapple, bananas, and nuts (optional). Mix well. Fold in the whipped topping.

Freezing and Baking Directions:
Spread in desired containers. Label and freeze. To serve, thaw small portions 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares to serve, or large portions up to 30 minutes before serving.

Comments:
*4-5 Cups of real whipped cream may be substituted for the 10 oz. container of whipped topping.
*One recipe makes approximately 8 Cups of salad. Re-freeze leftovers.
*Try your own combinations of fruit. Even drained fruit cocktail, or melon balls would be good. Raspberries and blueberries work well because of their small size.
*If you want a less "sweet" salad, substitute 1-1/2 C. of sour cream for the whipped topping. (Fat free works very well.)
*Our husbands love this and our kids mostly do!
