Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 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
- 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 slices, and mango cubes—into a large mixing bowl and gently mix well to combine. Set aside.
- Beat the cream cheese: In a separate bowl, add the softened cream cheese and beat it thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
- Mix dressing ingredients: Add the instant cheesecake flavored pudding mix and French vanilla coffee creamer to the beaten cream cheese. Start beating on low speed to incorporate ingredients evenly, then increase to medium-high speed and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Combine dressing with fruit: Pour the creamy cheesecake dressing over the mixed fruit. Gently mix everything together ensuring the fruit pieces are evenly coated.
- Chill the salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 4 hours to allow flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to drain canned fruits well to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- For best results, use well-softened cream cheese at room temperature to ensure smooth mixing.
- You can substitute the French vanilla coffee creamer with heavy cream or half-and-half if preferred, but it will slightly alter the flavor.
- This salad is best served chilled and consumed within 24-48 hours for freshness.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves for added color and flavor before serving.
