Ingredients
Scale
Tropical Fruits:
- 1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 4 mandarin oranges, peeled and sectioned
- 20 ounces (567 grams) pineapple tidbits, drained
- 3 kiwi, peeled and cut into half moons
- 2 mangoes, cut into bite-size chunks
- 1 banana, cut into coins
Dairy and Pudding:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese
- 3.4 ounces (96 grams) instant cheesecake pudding (unprepared)
- 1 cup International Delight French Vanilla Creamer (liquid)
Seasoning:

Instructions
- Whip the cream cheese in a medium bowl using an electric mixer until velvety and lump-free.
- Incorporate the cheesecake pudding mix, blending thoroughly until a uniform consistency develops.
- Gradually add creamer, mixing on low speed, to achieve a silky smooth texture that flows easily but maintains structure.
- Slice and prepare the vibrant tropical fruits – strawberries, mandarin oranges, pineapple tidbits, kiwi, and mango – in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Delicately fold the creamy cheesecake mixture into the colorful fruit medley, ensuring each piece gets a luxurious coating.
- Prevent banana coins from oxidizing by quickly tossing them in fresh lemon juice, then drain excess liquid.
- Gently integrate the banana coins into the fruity cheesecake blend, distributing them evenly throughout the salad.
- Refrigerate the tropical dessert for optimal flavor melding and serve chilled for a refreshing treat.
Notes
- Whip cream cheese until silky smooth for a luxurious base that melts in your mouth.
- Mix pudding powder to create a dreamy, velvety texture that transforms ordinary fruit into an extraordinary dessert.
