Instructions:
- Prepare the Creamy Cheesecake Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy texture.
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash and slice all fruits as needed. If using bananas, toss them in lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Combine Everything: Gently fold the fruit and marshmallows (if using) into the cheesecake mixture until evenly coated.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Cheesecake Fruit Salad:
- Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor and texture.
- If preparing in advance, add bananas just before serving to prevent them from turning brown.
- For a healthier version, use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese and whipped topping.
- Drizzle with a bit of honey for added natural sweetness.
