Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy cream whipped
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 oz neufchatel cream cheese or full fat cream cheese
  • 1 ½ cups sliced strawberries 1 pint of strawberries
  • 1 ½ cups fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 apple diced
  • 1 banana sliced

Instructions
 

  • Let your cream cheese soften to room temperature.
  • Wash the berries and apple and pat them dry with a paper towel or lay them out in a single layer to dry.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the cream with a hand mixer at high speed until soft peaks form. (If you freeze the bowl and beaters for 5-10 minutes, first, your cream will beat up faster and fluffier.)
  • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat until stiff peaks form; set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until very smooth. Beat in about 1/4 cup of the whipped cream, then fold in the remaining whipped cream.
  • Slice up all of the fruit and place in a large serving bowl. Add the cream cheese mixture and stir gently until all the fruit is coated.
  • Serve immediately. (You can make it a couple hours ahead of time and store in the refrigerator. Just don't add the bananas until right before you serve it.)

Notes

  • If you don't have powdered sugar on hand, granulated sugar also works great! Just beat it a little longer with the cream cheese until it dissolves.
  • You can use any fruit you want, you just need to make sure you end up with about 6 cups of fresh fruit total.
  • I prefer light (neufchatel) cream cheese, it is a little softer and makes the salad more creamy. But full fat cream cheese works too!
  • Need a non dairy fruit salad? You can replace the cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla with an 8 oz top of whipped topping (Cool Whip).
