Ingredients
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipped topping
1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
1 cup blueberries
1 cup pineapple chunks
1 cup grapes, halved
1 cup mandarin oranges, drained
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is fluffy and smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine all the fruits.
Carefully fold the fruit mixture into the cream cheese mixture until evenly coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
Notes
For a tropical twist, add shredded coconut and chopped mango.
For crunch, fold in chopped pecans or walnuts.
Use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese for a lighter version.
Add a teaspoon of lemon or lime juice for a zesty kick.
