Ingredients:
- A tub of whipped cream cheese spread (8-oz., Philadelphia, or your preferred brand)
- A cup of thawed frozen whipped topping
- A quarter cup of creamy, vanilla whole-milk Greek-style yogurt
- A quarter cup of sifted powdered sugar
- A teaspoon of fresh lemon juice (squeezed from a small lemon)
- A teaspoon of vanilla extract for that extra hint of flavor
- Five cups of chopped ripe fruit (feel free to experiment with pineapple, honeydew melon, mango, kiwi, red grapes, or whatever tickles your fancy)
Steps:
- Time to whip up the cheesecake filling! In a large bowl, mix the whipped cream cheese, the thawed whipped topping, the yogurt, the powdered sugar, the lemon juice, and the vanilla extract. Keep whisking until all these ingredients become one smooth, creamy delight.
- Now comes the fun part – adding the fruit. Gently mix your chosen fruits into the creamy cheesecake filling. Take care not to mush the fruit; we want to maintain those bite-sized pieces.
- The final step? Serve it up cold! This recipe is best enjoyed when it’s refreshing and chilled.
