Cream Cheese Fruit Salad is a decadent and luscious creation that effortlessly combines the richness of cream cheese with the natural sweetness of assorted fruits. This delightful salad offers a perfect balance of creamy, tangy, and fruity flavors.
Start by selecting a variety of fresh fruits such as berries, grapes, kiwi, and mandarin oranges. The goal is to create a colorful and diverse mix of fruits that provide a range of textures and tastes. Dice the fruits into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are ready to meld harmoniously with the creamy base.
The star of this recipe is the cream cheese dressing. Combine softened cream cheese with a touch of honey or maple syrup for sweetness, and a splash of vanilla extract for depth of flavor. Blend these ingredients until smooth, creating a velvety dressing that will coat the fruits luxuriously.
For an extra layer of texture and flavor, consider adding chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts. These nuts provide a delightful crunch that complements the creaminess of the dressing and the juiciness of the fruits.
To assemble the Cream Cheese Fruit Salad, gently fold the diced fruits into the cream cheese dressing, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. The result is a heavenly marriage of creamy and fruity goodness.
Chill the salad for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and intensify. This dessert-like fruit salad is a crowd-pleaser at gatherings, potlucks, or as a sweet treat after a family dinner.
Cream Cheese Fruit Salad is a versatile recipe that can be customized based on personal preferences. Whether enjoyed as a side dish, a light dessert, or a refreshing snack, this indulgent creation brings a touch of elegance and sweetness to any occasion. Treat your taste buds to the luxurious combination of cream cheese and fresh fruits in every spoonful.

just added pudding instead of sugar and canned fruit yummy great recipe
I made this for easter this year and it was a big hit! I did what others suggested in their reviews and used pineapple chunks and grapes. I left out the coconut, sugar, pecans, and raisans. I will definitely make this again
Other than substituting my own favorite fruits, I wanted to share a BEAUTIFUL serving method our mother used: fill the hollowed-out half of an ORANGE peel, then freeze them
Wonderful!! I used a pkg of instant pudding instead of sugar with the cream cheese and whipped topping, mmm yummy! And also I had on hand marshmallows instead of coconut and red and green grapes, chunky pineapple instead of crushed and a apple. loved it, thank you for the recipe, the possibilities are endless
So so good. Everyone in my home loved it and it was super easy and affordable to make! I made a double batch and still paid less than $15 for all the ingredients!
Awesomeness on a plate! I skipped all the sugar as fruit, coconut and whipped cream was sweet aplenty!
I use this recipe at Thanksgiving every year and have for the past 6 years. Everyone loves it. I do change up the fruit in it from year to year though.
I could not find any Jonagold apples so I used a Fuji apple, I do not like raisins so I left them out and I forgot the pineapple but hey it turned out really good anyway.
The salad is delicious! I added the cherries but not raisins or nuts. Just used what I had. We put small amount of mini marshmallows on top.
