Cheesecake Fruit Salad

Ever since Chad and I have been together we have celebrated every special occasion with his family. My family lives across the country so we never even gave it a second thought.

Anyway, as I was saying we spend every holiday with his family and there are a few dishes that you will find at every event we attend. Gigi's apple salad. It is a family tradition.


It is fruit mixed with whipped cream and it is delightful. A few years ago it got me thinking.

What if I combined cheesecake and fruit to create an over the top decadent cheesecake salad? Well, I did and I have to tell you it is the most amazing decadent fruit salad ever.



I am planning for Easter dinner this weekend which is my holiday to host. I started thinking about the fruit salad that I would choose.

I got to thinking about the scrumptious ham that we will be enjoying and then it hit me.

I combined my favorite tropical fruit with a rich and creamy cheesecake filling to create our newest cheesecake salad sensation and you are going to love it!!!

Helpful Tips to make Hawaiian Cheesecake Salad:

• Do not pour all of the creamer into the cream cheese at once. It will get clumpy and no matter how long you beat it, it will stay that way. Trust me on this one.
• If the cream cheese and pudding mix get too thick, add in splash of the cream to loosen it up. Then poceed with the recipe, minus the splash you already used.
• If you have to substitute for the creamer, use 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

To make Hawaiian Cheesecake Salad Ahead:

• Prepare the cheesecake mixture and refrigerate in a bowl or sealed jar. 
• Combine all of the fruit in a large bowl and refrigerate. 
• Before serving, drain any excess liquid from the fruit and then fold the cheesecake filling into the fruit. Serve and enjoy!

What you will need to make Hawaiian Cheesecake Salad:

• Electric Hand Mixer - I have had this one in my kitchen for ever (it seems like) at least 8 years.
  
• Instant Cheesecake Pudding - this is my favorite to use in my cheesecake salads.

Enjoy!

Hawaiian Cheesecake Salad

Hawaiian Cheesecake Salad comes together so simply with fresh tropical fruit and a rich and creamy cheesecake filling to create the most glorious fruit salad ever! Every bite is absolutely bursting with island flavor and you are going to go nuts over this recipe!

prep time: 15 MINScook time: total time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
• 1 (3.4-ounce) package instant cheesecake pudding, unprepared
• 1 cup International Delight French Vanilla Creamer (liquid)
• 1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 4 mandarin oranges, peeled and sectioned
• 1 (20-ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained
• 3 kiwi, peeled and cut into half moons
• 2 mangoes, cut into bite size chunks
• 1 banana, cut into coins
• juice of 1/2 lemon

Instructions

1. In a medium tall bowl (I use my 8 cup measuring cup), using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until it becomes smooth. It may bind up in the beaters, but continue as is and it will loosen up.
2. Add the dry pudding mix. Beat until well combined.
3. With the mixer on low, slowly add the creamer to the cream cheese mix. Add it about a tablespoon at a time and then mix until it becomes a smooth mixture and all of the creamer has combined into the cream cheese, repeat until all of the creamer has been added to the mixture. Whip until smooth.
4. In a large bowl, combine strawberries, oranges, pineapple, kiwi and mango.
5. Add the cheesecake mixture to the fruit. Gently fold cheesecake mixture into fruit.
6. In a small bowl combine the banana coins and the lemon juice. Toss until well coated, drain the excess lemon juice. Gently fold the banana into the cheesecake salad.
7. Chill until ready to serve or serve immediately.

DONNA'S NOTES

1. Do not pour all of the creamer into the cream cheese at once. It will get clumpy and no matter how long you beat it, it will stay that way. Trust me on this one.
2. If you have to substitute cream for the creamer, powdered sugar and vanilla would be the best swap. 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
3. To make this ahead: prepare the cheesecake mixture and refrigerate in a bowl. Mix all of the fruit in a large bowl and refrigerate. Before serving, drain any excess liquid from the fruit and then fold the cheesecake filling into the fruit. Serve and enjoy!
