Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Ingredients
- 1 lb strawberries (washed, tops removed, and quartered)
- 11 oz mandarin oranges (drained)
- 20 oz pineapple chunks (drained)
- 5 kiwi fruit (peeled, sliced, and halved)
- 2 mangoes (cubed)
Dressing Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 3.4 oz instant cheesecake flavored pudding mix
- 1 cup French vanilla coffee creamer
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Add all the prepared fruit—strawberries, mandarin oranges, pineapple chunks, kiwi, and mango—to a large mixing bowl. Gently toss to combine all the fruits evenly. Set this bowl aside for the dressing preparation.
- Beat the Cream Cheese: In a separate mixing bowl, place the softened cream cheese. Using an electric mixer, beat it well until creamy and smooth, ensuring there are no lumps left.
- Combine Pudding and Creamer: To the beaten cream cheese, add the instant cheesecake flavored pudding mix and the French vanilla coffee creamer. Start beating on low speed to prevent splattering until the ingredients are just combined. Then increase the mixer speed to medium-high and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Mix Dressing with Fruit: Pour the cheesecake dressing over the mixed fruit in the large bowl. Gently stir until all the fruit pieces are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the salad to set into a creamy, delicious dessert.
Notes
- Use fresh and ripe fruits for the best flavor and texture.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make blending easier and smoother.
- Feel free to substitute French vanilla coffee creamer with regular vanilla creamer or heavy cream if preferred.
- This salad tastes best after chilling overnight but can be served after 4 hours of refrigeration.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
