Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 2 mangoes (diced into bite-sized chunks)
- 20 oz (567 grams) can of pineapple tidbits (drained)
- 4 mandarin oranges (peeled and sectioned)
- 3 kiwi (peeled and cut into half-moons)
- 1 banana (sliced into coins)
- 8 oz (226 grams) package of cream cheese
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) French Vanilla Creamer (liquid)
- 3.4 oz (96 grams) package of instant cheesecake pudding mix (unprepared)
- ½ lemon (juice)
Instructions
- Cream Preparation: Utilize an electric mixer to whip cream cheese until silky-smooth and lump-free, creating a luxurious base for the tropical dessert.
- Flavor Enhancement: Blend dry pudding mix into the cream cheese, stirring meticulously to achieve a uniform, velvety consistency. Adjust texture with creamer if mixture appears too thick.
- Fruit Composition: Combine an array of tropical fruits – strawberries, mandarin oranges, pineapple tidbits, kiwi slices, and mango chunks – creating a vibrant, colorful medley in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Coating Process: Delicately fold the creamy cheesecake mixture into the fruit ensemble, ensuring each morsel is elegantly enrobed with the rich, smooth cream.
- Banana Integration: Prevent banana oxidation by quickly tossing slices in fresh lemon juice, draining excess liquid. Gently incorporate banana coins throughout the fruit and cheesecake mixture.
- Chilling Stage: Refrigerate the Hawaiian cheesecake salad to intensify flavor fusion and achieve optimal serving temperature, delivering a refreshing and indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Prevent Browning: Toss banana slices in lemon juice to stop oxidation and maintain their fresh, appealing color.
- Achieve Smooth Texture: Whip cream cheese thoroughly with an electric mixer to eliminate lumps and create a velvety base.
- Adjust Consistency: Add a small amount of creamer if the mixture seems too thick, ensuring a perfectly smooth and spreadable texture.
- Chill for Best Flavor: Refrigerate the salad before serving to allow ingredients to blend and intensify the tropical taste profile.
