Ingredients
  

Hawaiian Cheesecake Salad Ingredients
  • 8 oz Full-Fat Cream Cheese 225g, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar 60g
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract 5ml
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream 240ml, chilled
  • 2 cups Fresh Strawberries 300g, cut into irregular chunks
  • 3 whole Kiwis Peeled and sliced into translucent rounds
  • 2 cups Fresh Pineapple Chunks 330g, fibrous and golden

Equipment

  • 1 Hand Mixer Or stand mixer
  • 1 Large Ceramic Bowl For mixing the base
  • 1 Rubber Spatula For gentle folding

Method
 

Prepare the Base
  1. In a large ceramic bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until completely smooth and velvety.
  2. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring an airy texture.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until just combined.
  4. Carefully fold in the strawberries, kiwi, and pineapple chunks until the fruit is coated in the glossy cream.
  5. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving with a silver spoon to reveal the internal texture.

Notes

Softened cream cheese is the key to avoiding lumps.
Pat the fruit dry before adding to prevent the cream from becoming runny.
