Instructions

Blend Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the Philadelphia cream cheese and Dr. Pepper until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring that the flavors combine well and the texture is smooth.
-
Fold in Fruit: Gently fold in the drained mandarin orange sections, maraschino cherries, pineapple chunks, and miniature marshmallows. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to keep the fruit intact for a pleasing presentation.
-
Pack for Freezing: Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container, ensuring an even distribution for uniform freezing.
-
Freeze: Place the container in the freezer, allowing the dessert to freeze until it is solid. This typically takes a few hours, but for the best texture, consider freezing it overnight.

Slice and Serve: Once fully frozen, remove the container from the freezer. Allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make slicing easier. Cut into squares and serve as a vibrant dessert or refreshing fruit salad at your next gathering.
