Hawaiian Cheesecake Fruit Salad Recipe

1. Place the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl and mix until smooth with a hand or stand mixer.
2. Add the cheesecake dry pudding mix and combine thoroughly.
3. Add the vanilla creamer to the softened cream cheese, approximately 1-2 tablespoons at a time to ensure a smooth consistency. (Adding it all at once will cause the mixture to be lumpy.)
4. Clean and cut all fruit (except the bananas) into small, bite-sized pieces.

1. Combine the fruit with the cream cheese mixture and fold gently to ensure coverage.
2. Finally, cut up the bananas and toss them with the lemon juice in a bowl to prevent browning.
