- 3 kiwi, peeled and cut into half-moons
- 2 mangoes, diced into bite-sized chunks

Instructions
- Whip the cream cheese in a medium bowl using an electric mixer until velvety and free of lumps.

- Adjust the mixture’s texture by adding a small amount of creamer if it appears too dense, stirring gradually to maintain smoothness.
