Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- 1 cup diced bananas
Dairy:
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Flavoring:
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Delicately dice ripe strawberries and bananas into uniform bite-sized pieces, ensuring even texture and distribution in a spacious mixing vessel.
- In a separate clean mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until velvety and lightweight, gradually incorporating powdered sugar, milk, and pure vanilla extract. Blend thoroughly until the mixture achieves a silky, consistent smoothness without any lumps.
- Gently cascade the creamy mixture over the prepared fruit, folding carefully to coat each fruit piece evenly without crushing the delicate fruit chunks.
- Refrigerate the salad for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and mixture to set. This chilling period helps intensify the dessert’s overall taste profile and provides a refreshingly cool texture.
- Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir to redistribute the creamy coating and ensure optimal presentation. Serve directly from the refrigerator for maximum enjoyment and optimal taste experience.
Notes
- Opt for ripe, sweet strawberries and bananas to enhance the natural flavor of the salad.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smoother blending and fewer lumps.
- Use a hand mixer or whisk to create a silky, well-incorporated cream cheese mixture.
- Serve chilled for the best texture and refreshing taste, perfect for summer gatherings or dessert.
