Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 8 oz whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, halved
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 2 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut, toasted
  • Optional: banana slices, blueberries, mango chunks

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until it’s light and fluffy.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, and continue mixing for another 1-2 minutes until it is smooth and well combined.
  3. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping with a spatula until fully incorporated.
  4. Rinse all the fruits thoroughly under cold water and dry them gently with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  5. Slice the strawberries and kiwi into bite-sized pieces, and cut the pineapple into small chunks if not pre-cut.
  6. Incorporate the prepared fruits into the cheesecake mixture by gently folding them in.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to chill.
  8. Before serving, sprinkle the toasted coconut flakes on top for an added crunch and extra flavor.
