Ingredients
- 8 ounce package cream cheese
- 3.4 ounce package instant cheesecake pudding (unprepared)
- 1 cup International Delight French Vanilla Creamer (liquid)
- 1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 4 mandarin oranges, peeled and sectioned
- 20 ounce can pineapple tidbits, drained
- 3 kiwi, peeled and cut into half moons
- 2 mangoes, cut into bite-size chunks
- 1 banana, cut into coins
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
Directions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture:
- In a medium tall bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the dry cheesecake pudding mix and beat until well combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of creamer to loosen it up.
- With the mixer on low, slowly incorporate the remaining creamer, about a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Prepare the Fruit:
- In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, mandarin oranges, pineapple tidbits, kiwi, and mango.
- Combine Fruit and Cheesecake Mixture:
- Gently fold the cheesecake mixture into the mixed fruits, ensuring the fruits are evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
- Add Bananas:
- In a small bowl, toss the banana coins with lemon juice to prevent browning. Drain any excess liquid, then fold the banana coins into the salad.
- Chill and Serve:
- Chill the salad until ready to serve, or enjoy immediately.
