Ingredients

8 oz. package cream cheese softened
3.4 oz. box cheesecake pudding mix *Dry* substitute vanilla if unavailable
1 cup vanilla creamer
2 cups mango approximately 2
2 cups mandarin slices drained
15 oz. can pineapple tidbits drained
2 cups kiwi slices approximately 5 kiwis
2 cups strawberries 1lb package, sliced
2 bananas chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Place the softened cream cheese in a bowl and mix until smooth with a hand or stand mixer.
Add the dry cheesecake pudding mix into the cream cheese and combine fully.
Add the vanilla creamer to the cream cheese mixture approximately 1-2 Tablespoons at a time to ensure a smooth consistency. (Adding it all at once will cause the mixture to be lumpy.)
Clean and cut all fruit except the bananas into small, bite-sized pieces.
Combine the fresh fruit with the cream cheese mixture.
Cut up bananas and toss them with lemon juice to prevent browning. Gently add bananas to the fruit salad.
Chill Hawaiian Fruit Salad until ready to serve.

Notes

Try this dish with added maraschino cherries and shredded coconut flakes.

Fold in a bit of Cool Whip and mini marshmallows to create a Hawaiian Ambrosia Salad.

This dish can be made with canned fruit over fresh fruit if available. Drain completely, so the creamy fruit salad doesn’t get watery.
