Ingredients
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 (3.4-ounce) package instant cheesecake pudding mix (or vanilla pudding mix)
1 cup pineapple juice (reserved from the canned pineapple)
1 pound strawberries, sliced
1 cup green or red grapes, halved
1 (15-ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 (20-ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
3 kiwis, peeled and sliced
1 banana, sliced
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the instant cheesecake pudding mix and pineapple juice.
Continue mixing until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
In a separate large bowl, combine the strawberries, grapes, mandarin oranges, pineapple chunks, kiwi slices, and banana slices.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the fruit.
Gently fold everything together until the fruit is evenly coated.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.
Notes
Add the banana just before serving to prevent browning.
For a lighter version, substitute reduced-fat cream cheese.
Cheesecake pudding mix provides the richest flavor, but vanilla pudding works well too.
Chill the fruit before assembling for an extra refreshing salad.
Best enjoyed the day it is made.
