In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Sprinkle the instant cheesecake pudding mix into the cream cheese and mix on low speed until the pudding mix is fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together using an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture until well combined, forming a fluffy cheesecake base.
Add the drained pineapple chunks, drained mandarin oranges, quartered strawberries, and halved grapes into the bowl with the cheesecake mixture. Carefully fold the fruit in to prevent breaking or mashing.
Add the mini marshmallows and sweetened shredded coconut to the mixture, folding gently to combine everything evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve cold in individual bowls or as a centerpiece dish. Optionally, garnish with additional fruit or coconut before serving.
