Notes

Possible variations:

If you don't want to use whipped cream, you can use an 8 ounce container of Cool Whip instead.

If you like crunch in your fruit salad, add some chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts.

For a more tropical flavor, feel free to substitute some drained mandarin oranges for some of the fruit cocktail. Then stir in a cup of shredded coconut before freezing.
