Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the cheesecake dressing: In a medium bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese, thawed whipped topping, vanilla Greek or triple cream yogurt, sifted powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
2. Blend until smooth: Using an electric mixer, blend the ingredients together until the dressing is completely smooth and creamy.
3. Combine fruit: In a large bowl, combine your choice of chopped ripe fruits. Some excellent options include pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, melon, mango, and grapes.
4. Toss with dressing: Pour the prepared cheesecake dressing over the chopped fruit in the large bowl. Gently toss the fruit to combine, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated with the dressing.
5. Serve or chill: Serve the Cheesecake Fruit Salad immediately for the best texture. Alternatively, you can place it in the refrigerator to chill for up to 2 hours before serving. If chilled for too long, the fruit may release excess juices and the dressing may become watery.
