Step-by-Step Instructions
To make this scrumptious Cheesecake Fruit Salad, start by preparing your cream cheese mixture. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer (or a good old whisk if you’re feeling strong), blend until everything is smooth and creamy. The aroma of vanilla wafting through my kitchen at this point is just heavenly! It’s already starting to feel like cheesecake. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
