Step 2: Make the Creamy Base
- In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy using a hand mixer.
- Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix again until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until it begins to thicken.
- Gently fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture.
- Then fold in the whipped topping until fully combined, creating a rich, airy base.
Step 3: Combine Everything
- Gently fold the fruit into the creamy mixture using a rubber spatula.
- If you’re using mini marshmallows, add them in at this stage for a playful texture.
- Be careful not to overmix — you want the fruit to stay intact and beautiful.
Step 4: Chill
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours. This helps the flavors blend and the mixture thicken slightly.
Step 5: Serve
- Just before serving, give it a light stir.
- If using bananas, fold them in now for the best texture and color.
- Garnish with extra berries or a sprinkle of shredded coconut or crushed nuts for an elegant touch.
🍓 Tips & Variations:
- Make it tropical: Use mango, kiwi, and coconut flakes.
- Add crunch: Sprinkle granola or chopped pecans on top right before serving.
- Low-sugar version: Use sugar-free pudding and light whipped topping.
- Dessert upgrade: Serve over a slice of angel food cake or in a waffle cone.
