Gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula for about 2 minutes until evenly combined.
Carefully add mixed fruit and pecans or walnuts, stirring gently for 1-2 minutes.
If using shredded coconut, fold it in lightly for about 1 minute.
Spoon the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, and seal tightly. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours.
Before serving, let the salad sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften.
