Recipe Tips:

  • Cream Cheese – Make sure that the cream cheese is soft before making so that it’s easy to mix with the other ingredients.  
  • Combine Ingredients – Before adding in the fruit, make sure the ingredients are combined until creamy. We recommend combining the cream ingredients with a stand mixer or a hand held mixer.
  • Fruit – Make sure to mix the fruit with the lemon juice. This helps to prevent the bananas from turning brown.
  • Ripe Bananas – For best results we recommend using ripe bananas for this recipe.
  • Make in advance. This fruit salad can be made in advance.  However, I recommend waiting to stir the fruit in until you are ready to serve.
