Ingredients:
1 pint fresh blueberries
1 pint fresh hulled strawberries or 1 pint raspberries
2 1/2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
2 cups seeded watermelon, chunks
2 bananas, sliced 1/2-inch thick
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 kiwi fruits, peeled and sliced
1 cup mandarin oranges, drained ( or use fresh oranges, chopped)
2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar ( icing sugar)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 cup whipped cream, whipped
1/4-1/2 teaspoon lime zest
Directions:
In a bowl, toss the bananas slices in lemon juice to keep from browning.
In an extra large fancy glass bowl, in a layering effect, place the pineapple, blueberries, HALF of the strawberries, oranges, kiwi fruit, watermelon, and the remaining strawberries or raspberries.
In a mixer bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add in confectioners sugar, and continue beating.
Add in the lime juice; mix to combine.
Set the speed to lowest, and add in HALF of the whipped cream; mix until blended.
Then add in the remaining whipped cream until blended (still on lowest speed).
Pour the whipped dressing all over the fruit in the bowl, and allow to drizzle inside of bowl.
Chill for a minimum of 1 hour before serving.
