Creamy Orange Cheesecake Fruit Salad

A vibrant and delicious fruit salad coated in a creamy cheesecake topping, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup diced strawberries
  • 1 cup diced pineapple
  • 1 cup diced peaches
  • 1 cup grapes, halved
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Fruit: Start by washing your fruits thoroughly. For the strawberries, remove the stems, and slice them into small, bite-sized pieces. Peel and dice the pineapple and peaches into similar-sized pieces. Halve the grapes.
  2. Mix the Creamy Base: Grab a large mixing bowl and add your softened cream cheese. Beat it with an electric mixer until it’s smooth and creamy.
  3. Incorporate the Whipped Topping: Once the cream cheese is fluffy, fold in the whipped topping using a spatula.
  4. Sweeten It Up: Sift in the powdered sugar gradually. Mix lightly until combined.
  5. Add Orange Juice and Vanilla: Pour in the orange juice and add the vanilla extract. Mix until super smooth.
  6. Time to Combine: Fold in all the freshly prepared fruits into your creamy mixture.
  7. Chill Out: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
