Ingredients
1 package cream cheese – softened
1⁄4 cup heavy cream
3 Tbsp. honey
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 lb. (about 4 ½ cups) strawberries – washed, hulled, and sliced
3 bananas – peeled and cut into rounds
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Carefully rinse the strawberries to remove dirt or sand. Pat away any moisture with paper towels until the strawberries are dry.
Hull and slice the strawberries, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and slice the bananas into rounds. Add to the bowl with the strawberries.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the fruit and stir to coat all pieces evenly. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to whip the mixture until smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Gradually add the heavy cream, continuing to whip until the mixture is creamy and fully combined.
Gently fold the cheesecake mixture into the prepared fruit.
Optionally garnish with additional strawberry slices and banana rounds.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until chilled.
