Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups fresh pineapple chunks (ripe and juicy)
  • 1 cup mango slices (ripe and tender)
  • 1 medium banana, sliced
  • 1 medium kiwi, peeled and chopped
  • ½ cup maraschino cherries (optional)
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whipped topping or Cool Whip
  • ½ cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) pineapple juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup chopped macadamia nuts or toasted coconut flakes (optional)
  • ½ cup mini marshmallows (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruits (10 minutes): Peel and chop the pineapple into bite-sized chunks (about 1 ½ cups). Slice the mango into thin pieces, removing the pit. Peel and slice the banana just before assembling to avoid browning. Peel and chop the kiwi into small pieces. If using maraschino cherries, halve them.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Dressing (5 minutes): In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy. Add the sweetened condensed milk, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy with no lumps.
  3. Combine Salad Ingredients (5 minutes): Gently fold the prepared tropical fruits into the cheesecake dressing. Be careful not to mash the banana; use a spatula to combine evenly. Fold in mini marshmallows or nuts if using.
  4. Chill and Serve (at least 1 hour): Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld and the salad to firm up. Stir gently before serving.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Drain fresh pineapple well to prevent watery salad. Slice bananas last or toss in lemon juice to prevent browning. Use gentle folding to keep fruit intact. Chill at least 1 hour for best flavor and texture. For dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and whipped topping with coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese, and use maple syrup instead of sweetened condensed milk.
