3Step 3

Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions, keeping it light and airy.

4Step 4

Pat the fruit dry with paper towels, then gently fold the strawberries, blueberries, pineapple and mandarins into the cream.

5Step 5

Fold in the mini marshmallows if using.

6Step 6

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving so it firms up and the flavors meld.

Tips & Variations

Drying the fruit well keeps the cream thick and stops it from turning runny.
Raspberries, grapes, kiwi or sliced bananas all work; add bananas just before serving.
Keep it covered in the fridge and eat within 2 days.
