So…is it really “better than sex”?
The name made me roll my eyes. It’s bold. It’s silly. But you know what? This salad is loud in the best way. Sweet, tart, creamy, cold. The first spoonful hits fast. My brain went, “Wait—again?” I didn’t expect that. I even wrote a longer play-by-play of every drip and dollop in my dedicated fruit-salad review if you’re craving more details.
If playful messiness makes you smile, peek at the splashy photo sets on WetLookSex and see how getting sauced can look a whole lot different off the plate.
I made it three times in two weeks. That says a lot. My kids asked for it for breakfast. My sister asked for the “sauce recipe,” then asked again, because she lost it in the group chat. Classic. If you’d like the exact measurements without any guesswork, this detailed recipe for Better Than Sex Fruit Salad walks you through every step and offers a few fun ingredient twists.
What I used (my everyday version)
I shopped at Trader Joe’s and my local store. Nothing fancy.
- 2 cups strawberries (Driscoll’s), sliced
- 2 cups pineapple, cut small
- 2 cups green grapes, halved
- 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- 1 mango, diced
- 1 cup blueberries
For the creamy sauce:
- 4 oz cream cheese, soft
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (Fage 2%)
- 2 tbsp honey (the TJ’s little bear)
- Zest of 1 lime + juice of 1/2 lime
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: 1 tsp vanilla
Tools I used: a big Pyrex bowl, a small whisk, my OXO cutting board, and a Microplane for the lime zest. That zester makes me feel like I know what I’m doing.
How I made it (quick and chill)
- I whisked the cream cheese till smooth. No lumps.
- I added yogurt, honey, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and vanilla. Whisked again. Creamy, glossy, and bright.
- I tossed all the fruit in the big bowl.
- I spooned the sauce over the fruit and folded it in. Gentle. No crushed berries.
- I let it sit in the fridge for 20 minutes. Cold is key.
Note: If your strawberries are kinda meh, sprinkle 1 tsp sugar and let them rest for 10 minutes first. They get juicy and happy.
Real-life test runs (because life is messy)
-
Saturday picnic, 89°F heat
I carried the bowl in a cooler to our park. We sat under one tree that wasn’t great shade. The salad was a lifesaver. Cold and zesty. My friend Jess went straight for the pineapple, then dug around for more mango. Her 4-year-old ate only the grapes. That’s fine. We all have a type. -
Church potluck
I doubled the recipe and used Cool Whip instead of yogurt, because Aunt Bev likes it sweet-sweet. Folks scraped the bowl clean. One lady asked if it had marshmallows. It didn’t. She still took seconds. My husband rolled his eyes at the name, then stood there with the spoon. I didn’t say a word. I just watched. -
Movie night at home
We did the lighter version. Greek yogurt, extra lime, no cream cheese. I served it in cold mugs. We ate it during a cartoon. It felt like dessert, but no sugar crash. My son said, “This tastes like summer rain.” Okay, poet.
What I loved
- The lime zest wakes it up. It smells like a tiny beach. For another sensory kick, I tested some sex candles that fill the room with dessert vibes before the bowl even shows up.
- The cream cheese gives it a cheesecake vibe, but it’s not heavy.
- It works with cheap fruit or fancy fruit.
- It tastes even better after an hour in the fridge. The fruit relaxes.
- It looks pretty with zero food styling. Rainbow wins.
What bugged me (small stuff)
- If you overmix, blueberries pop and stain the sauce. Still good, just purple.
- Strawberries can get soft by day two. I add fresh ones on top if serving again.
- If the pineapple is weak, the salad feels flat. Lime helps, but ripe fruit helps more.
Easy tips and smart swaps
Need even more ideas before you start chopping? This in-depth guide on preparing Better Than Sex Fruit Salad is packed with customization tricks and clever serving suggestions.
- No dairy? Use coconut yogurt and skip cream cheese. Add shredded coconut.
- Want richer? Fold in half a tub of Cool Whip. Party mode.
- Want lighter? Use only Greek yogurt and more lime.
- Add crunch: toasted coconut or chopped pistachios right before serving.
- Add herbs: a little fresh mint (just a few leaves).
- Sweat the fruit: if it’s very juicy, pat it dry first. The sauce clings better.
- Make-ahead: mix sauce and fruit separate. Combine before serving.
- Winter fix: use canned mandarin oranges and frozen mango. Drain well.
- Sugar rush option: swap the honey for crushed sex candy pieces—wild, but surprisingly tasty.
Flavor notes (quick nerdy bit)
- Acid vs sweet: lime balances the honey and fruit. It keeps it from tasting like candy.
- Texture: grapes snap, pineapple bites, strawberries melt. That mix matters.
- Temp: cold heightens the sour and calms the sweet. So chill it.

Final take
Is it “better than sex”? That’s a big claim. I’ll say this: it’s fast, it’s bright, and it makes people grin without trying. On a hot day, with a plastic spoon, standing by a picnic table? It sure feels close.
Would I make it again? I already did. And I’m buying more limes.
