Fruit salad with cereal

Salad - Fruit salad with cereal by Lucretia A. - Recipia

Soft fruit bruises easily, so I cut it into larger cubes for fruit salad with cereal and ice cream. Apples, pears, purple grapes, blackberries and raspberries are mixed with cereal, then the melted ice cream coats them in a cold sauce while the pieces of fruit remain visible. I make it just before the meal. Preparation: 15 minutes. Cooking: 0 minutes. Rest: 20 minutes. Total time: 35 minutes. Servings: 4. Approximately 220 kcal and 3 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium red apple (180 g)
  • 1 medium pear (180 g)
  • 150 g purple grapes
  • 75 g blackberries
  • 75 g raspberries
  • 30 g cereal or cornflakes
  • 200 g vanilla ice cream

Preparation

1. Leave 200 g vanilla ice cream at room temperature for about 20 minutes, until it melts. 2. Wash and dry the apple, pear, grapes, blackberries and raspberries. 3. Cut the apple and pear into cubes, halve the grapes and put all the fruit in a bowl. 4. Add 30 g cereal or cornflakes and mix. Pour the melted ice cream over the top and mix again.

Notes

I found the photo among some others; it's from two years ago. The cut fruit can keep in the fridge for a few hours, but keep the cereal and ice cream separate until serving so the flakes don't soak up the juice. Choose a pear that's still firm; if it's very soft, cut the cubes larger and transfer them carefully to the bowl. Seedless grapes are more convenient, and seeded grapes can be cut lengthwise and deseeded before adding. For crunch, add 20 g chopped walnuts or hazelnuts on top; the ice cream contains dairy, and walnuts and hazelnuts are allergens. Plain pancakes go well with it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use frozen fruit?

Yes, you can use 100 g frozen blackberries. Thaw them in the fridge and drain the liquid well before adding them.

What can I use instead of the pear?

Use one medium banana of about 120 g instead, and cut it just before mixing it with the other fruit.

How should I cut large grapes?

Cut each large grape into four; small ones can be left halved.

Can I use biscuits instead of cereal?

Yes, crumble 25 g plain biscuits and add them just before serving.

How do I stop the apple from turning brown?

Cut it last and drizzle it with 1 teaspoon lemon juice before putting it in the bowl.
