Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 2 cups grapes (red or green, halved)
- 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Set aside.
- Wash, peel, and slice all the fruits as needed. Pat them dry to prevent excess moisture.
- In a large serving bowl, gently toss the prepared fruits together to distribute evenly. Add mini marshmallows if using.
- Pour the cheesecake dressing over the fruit mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold the dressing into the fruit until everything is well coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
