Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheesecake Fruit Salad

Begin by placing 8 ounces of softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium speed for 1–2 minutes until it's smooth and creamy.
Gradually add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Continue to mix until fluffy and fully combined.
Carefully fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until evenly incorporated.
In a separate bowl, combine your choice of mixed fresh fruits and toss gently.
Pour the creamy cheesecake mixture over the prepared fruits and gently stir to coat.
Chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour or serve immediately topped with 1/2 cup of crushed graham crackers.
