Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese on medium speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping using a silicone spatula until evenly blended.
  4. Rinse all fruits under cool running water, halve strawberries, drain pineapple chunks, peel and slice kiwi, and gently wash raspberries.
  5. Incorporate prepared fruits into the cheesecake mixture by gently folding them in with a spatula.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top for an extra crunch.

Notes

Chill cream cheese and whipped topping for better texture. Avoid excess moisture in fruits to prevent a runny salad. Serve cold, do not freeze.
