Fruit Raita has the perfect balance of sweet and chatpata flavours. Chopped fruit is mixed with yogurt, mint and chaat masala for a delicious side dish that is good enough to eat up with a spoon.

The sweetness of fruits, cooling effect of the yogurt make this a great condiment in hot weather.

The great things about this recipe is that you can choose whichever fruit is in season and what suits your taste buds. I also use a mix of fruit in this Fruit Salad with Condensed Milk and Fruit Custard .

The variety of colours and flavours in this raita also make it a great option for Holi or Diwali parties.

It is one og my go-to raita recipes in the summer along with Baby Potato Pulao or Indian Vegetarian Curry Recipes .

Other raita recipes we make on rotation is Cucumber Raita , Boondi Raita, Tomato Raita , Vegetable Raita and Butternut Squash Raita .

Mix Fruit Raita Ingredients

Full ingredients with measurements are available in the recipe card below at the end of this post

Plain yogurt (curd)- full fat yogurt tastes super creamy but you can use low fat too. I use thick yogurt for raita.

Fruit of your choice:

Apple

Pear

Banana

Grapes

Mango

Pomegranate

Mint leaves

Chaat masala

Red chilli powder – this is optional

Salt

Sugar – you may want to add some sugar to sweeten the raita further.

I like to add in nuts sometimes to make Fruit and Nut Raita. Good options are toasted and chopped almonds, cashews, or walnuts.

I personally would not add citrus fruit to raita but prefer stone fruit.

Variations

If you do not have chaat masala, you can add a pinch of spices such as red chilli powder, cumin powder (jeera powder) and black pepper powder. Another option is black salt (kala namak) instead of regular salt.

Optional herbs instead of mint include coriander.

You can also add in rose syrup and serve for Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day.

How to make Fruit Raita recipe

Chop up fruit of choice into bitesize pieces.

Whisk yogurt in a bowl, sprinkle over spices of choice and mix in the fruit and herbs.

If serving at party, garnish with more pomegranate pearls.

Ask any British Indian who grew up in the ’90s, and they’ll probably tell you they enjoyed tinned fruit cocktail with evaporated milk. It was definitely a classic summer dessert for me and my brother.

It was quick and convenient whilst still having the hallmarks of a desert kids would love – sweet, creamy and colourful! The dessert even made an appearance during larger family gatherings.

I’m a big fan of milky desserts and Fresas con Crema with sour cream has to be one of my favourites.

I since learnt about a Filipino fruit salad, called buko salad, that uses condensed milk and I loved the idea of trying that out! My recipe takes inspiration but isn’t quite the same as it doesn’t use coconut strips and I use fresh fruit here.

And I love it! I love that condensed milk is creamy and sweet but still feels light. It remains fairly quick and it’s definitely an easy, no-cook dessert recipe.

If you want to make tweaks, this fruit salad recipe is made without custard powder but you can make a separate creamy Indian dessert called Fruit Custard .

Serve this fruit salad in the summer or during special occasions such as Holi, Eid, Ramadan, Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Fruit Salad with Condensed Milk Ingredients:

Find the full recipe measurements in the recipe card below

Fruit

This changes depending what’s in season/avaliable but generally I go for red apples, bananas, red grapes, pears, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, mango, kiwi, pomegranate.

You can also add pineapple chunks or maraschino cherries.

I avoid oranges because I find they’re a bit too tart for the milky cream. Also, I sometimes cheat and use canned fruit cocktail and add extra bananas.

Sweetened condensed milk

Cream – readers in the united states can use cool whip. I sometimes use evaporated milk as an alternative to cream.

Optional:

Cardamom powder – to make Indian fruit salad with condensed milk.

Vegan

To make it vegan, use a vegan condensed milk or coconut syrup that is mixed with plant based cream alternative or a bit of dairy-free milk.

How to make Sweetened Condensed Milk Fruit Salad

Prepare your fruit by washing well then chopping into bite size pieces.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed milk and cream

In the same large bowl, assemble the fruit salad by adding fruit salad to the cream mixture. Stir through until well incorporated.

For the best taste, enjoy immediately.

Place in a large serving bowl or transfer into individual cups/bowls

If you have made too much liquid, you can set it aside in the fridge then use for fluffy Tres Leche Pancakes .

Tips

Chop fruit immediately before adding to the salad – fruit such as apples tend to turn brown fast as it oxidises.

Storage

This fresh fruit salad is best eaten immediately or within a couple of hours.

However, you can place it in the fridge either in an airtight container or use plenty of plastic wrap to cover it.

You can prepare the salad in advance by making the milk cream and adding the fruit before you are ready to serve.
