Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 cup Green grapes (halved)
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
Instructions
Wash and dry all fresh fruits. Remove stems from the strawberries and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Halve the green grapes and drain the pineapple chunks thoroughly if using canned pineapple.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, pineapple chunks, and halved grapes. Gently toss to mix.
Add the mini marshmallows to the fruit mixture and set aside.
In a separate medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue beating until stiff peaks form, but be careful not to overbeat.
In another small bowl, soften the cream cheese by beating it with a spoon or mixer until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the softened cream cheese until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the cream mixture over the fruit and marshmallows. Use a spatula to fold everything together, ensuring all the fruit is evenly coated without breaking it apart.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Give the salad a gentle toss before serving. Serve chilled and enjoy!
