A simple, cold dessert salad combining fresh seasonal fruit with a sweet, creamy base made from cream cheese and whipped topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 large container (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained well
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 cups seedless grapes, halved
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Fold in the well-drained crushed pineapple, strawberries, grapes, and blueberries into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Cover the bowl and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
  5. If using, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top just before serving.

Notes

  • Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to prevent the salad from becoming watery. Press out excess liquid with a paper towel if necessary.
  • You can substitute the mixed berries with other firm fruits like mandarin oranges, kiwi, or sliced bananas (add bananas just before serving).
  • For a richer flavor, use a full block (16 ounces) of cream cheese and increase the powdered sugar slightly.
