Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by gathering your fresh ingredients for this Tropical Fruit Salad. Dice the pineapple into bite-sized pieces, slice the strawberries, and halve the raspberries. Finally, peel and slice the kiwi.
  2. Gently combine all the prepared fruit pieces in the large bowl, mixing with a spatula to ensure even distribution.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  4. Carefully fold the freshly whipped cream into the fruit mixture using a spatula.
  5. While the fruit salad sits, toast the coconut for an added crunch. Place a handful of shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat.
  6. Once the coconut is toasted, it’s time to serve your Tropical Fruit Salad. Spoon the vibrant fruit mixture into serving bowls or a large serving platter.
