    I never would have thought to put sour cream on fruit. :)

    I think that chopped macadamia nuts would be good in this. I haven’t tried sour cream with fruit before.

      Great idea! My littles won’t eat this if they see the sour cream. Would you freeze it as is, in chunks, or make it a smoothie texture for a Popsicle mold?

      Flaked coconut is just regular shredded coconut. Both Bob’s Red Mill and Eileen’s make an unsweetened version. I find Eileen’s in the baking section next to the sweetened coconut and BRM in the natural food section of my grocery store.

    I make this quite often, but haven’t used vanilla extract in it. Usually put a few drops of stevia in. Will try vanilla the next time.

    This ! is a healthier version of one I grew up with too…we called it ‘Heavenly Salad’! Hah!

    I know Laura doesn’t usually like nuts but ours always had walnuts (and mini marshmallows but I don’t know a healthy source for those).

    This looks yummy! Do you drain the canned fruit? I’m also going to try this with my homemade Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.

      Yes, I do drain the fruit if it’s canned. :)
