Ingredients:

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (480ml) whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 cups (300g) fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 2 medium bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup (30g) mini marshmallows

Instructions:

  1. Place softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
  2. Beat on medium high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps. Note: If it's still lumpy, keep going for another minute.
  3. Measure out your thawed whipped topping.
  4. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese.
  5. Use a cut and lift motion until no white streaks remain. Note: Don't stir in circles, or you'll lose the air.
  6. Add the diced strawberries, sliced bananas, and mini marshmallows.
  7. Fold gently until the fruit is just distributed. Note: Stop immediately to avoid bruising the bananas.
  8. Transfer the mixture to an airtight glass container.
  9. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours until firm and cold.
