Ingredients:
- ½ cup sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz sour cream
- 4 bananas, sliced
- 8 oz Cool Whip
- ½ cup pineapple tidbits, drained
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions:
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, softened cream cheese, and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This forms the rich base for your fruit delight.
-
Gently fold in the sliced bananas, pineapple tidbits, and fresh strawberries. Be careful not to mash the fruit; the goal is to maintain their texture and distribute them evenly throughout the creamy mixture.
-
Add the Cool Whip to the bowl and carefully fold it in. This will lighten up the mixture and add a fluffy texture, ensuring that the final dish is both creamy and airy.
-
Pour the entire mixture into a mold or a serving dish of your choice. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even distribution.
-
Place the dish in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This will give the flavors time to meld and create a delightful, chilled treat.
-
Before serving, let the Texas Fruit Delight sit out at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. This makes it easier to scoop and ensures a perfect consistency for serving.
Serving Suggestion:
This versatile dish is wonderful as both a side and a dessert. Serve it chilled and enjoy its sweet, fruity goodness at any meal. It’s a great addition to summer barbecues, holiday spreads, or simply as a refreshing treat after a meal. Enjoy every creamy, fruity bite! 🍓🍌🍍
