Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks, drained
  • 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup grapes, halved (seedless)
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (3.4-ounce) package instant cheesecake pudding mix, unprepared
  • 1 cup International Delight French Vanilla Creamer (or 1 cup heavy cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
    • Sprinkle the cheesecake pudding mix over the cream cheese and beat until well combined.
    • While continuing to beat, gradually add the French Vanilla Creamer (or heavy cream and vanilla extract) until smooth and creamy.
  • Combine the Fruit:
    • In a separate large bowl, combine strawberries, mandarin oranges, pineapple chunks, kiwi, bananas, and grapes.
  • Fold in the Cheesecake Mixture:
    • Gently fold the creamy cheesecake mixture into the fruit until evenly coated.
  • Chill and Serve:
    • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.
    • Garnish with extra fruit or graham cracker crumbs if desired.

Notes

  • For best results, add bananas just before serving to prevent browning.
  • Swap any fruits as desired or with seasonal varieties.
