Ingredient list

For this recipe, you need one can of sweetened condensed milk, one can of evaporated milk, one small can or cup of heavy whipping cream, 1-2 cups of granola and 1/2 pound to one pound of fresh fruit. If fresh fruit is not available, you can use canned fruit after draining all of the juice or syrup. Have a cup of milk on hand to thin the sauce mixture if desired.

Preparation

Cut up a variety of fresh or canned fruit into bite-sized pieces and put into a casserole dish or mixing bowl. In a blender or large bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and heavy whipping cream until smooth. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, add a little bit of milk to thin it out. Pour the milk mixture over the fruit and stir with a spatula to coat all of the fruit pieces evenly. Once you have coated the fruit evenly, add the desired amount of granola to the top of the mixture.
