1. **Prepare the Cream Cheese Base:
– In a medium bowl, whip the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.
2. Incorporate the Pudding Mix:
– Gradually add the instant cheesecake pudding mix, blending until well combined with the cream cheese.
3. Add the Creamer:
– Slowly pour in the vanilla coffee creamer while mixing on medium-low speed. Once all the creamer is added, increase the speed to high and whip until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Prepare the Fruits:
– In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and banana coins. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and gently toss to coat, preventing the bananas from browning.
5. Combine and Chill:
– Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the bowl of fruits, mixing until the fruits are evenly coated.
– Chill the salad in the refrigerator before serving to enhance the flavor and texture.
Alternative for Creamer:
1. Homemade Creamer:
– Whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
– Use this mixture in place of the liquid vanilla coffee creamer.
