Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
  • 12 bananas, sliced and tossed in lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until fully combined.
  3. Fold in whipped topping gently until smooth and no streaks remain.
  4. Add sliced strawberries and blueberries, folding gently to combine.
  5. If using, add banana slices and mini marshmallows last and stir gently.
  6. Cover and chill the salad for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh, dry berries to prevent excess moisture.
  • Bananas are best added just before serving to keep them fresh.
  • Top with crushed graham crackers or granola for added crunch.
  • For a tangier version, mix in Greek yogurt with the cream cheese.
  • Do not freeze; it affects the texture of the whipped topping and fruit.
