Ingredients:
- 8 oz package of cream cheese
- 3.4 oz package of instant cheesecake pudding mix (unprepared)
- 1 cup of French Vanilla Creamer (liquid)
- 1 lb of strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 4 mandarin oranges, peeled and sectioned

Directions:
- Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: In a medium bowl, whip the cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer. Add the dry pudding mix and beat until combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of creamer to loosen it. Then, with the mixer on low, gradually incorporate the rest of the creamer (one tablespoon at a time) until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine the Fruits: In a large bowl, mix strawberries, mandarin oranges, pineapple tidbits, kiwi slices, and mango chunks together.
- Fold in the Cheesecake Mixture: Gently fold the creamy cheesecake mixture into the bowl of fruits, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
- Add the Bananas: Toss banana coins in lemon juice to prevent browning, drain, and then fold them into the salad.
- Chill or Serve: Chill the salad until you’re ready to serve, or enjoy immediately if you can’t wait!
