About the Recipe
This fruit salad always reminds me of our holiday in Mauritius, lounging next to the pool and enjoying a pinacolada. Everytime I miss those sun-filled days this recipe comes out and has even featured as a dessert at weekend braai's to Christmas.
It pairs beautifully with ice cream and even if you leave the alcohol out (to make it kid friendly) it still has that pinacolada taste.
