Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 8 oz of softened cream cheese on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes, until it becomes fluffy and creamy. Gradually add in ½ cup of powdered sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla extract, mixing for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
  2. Gently fold in 8 oz of thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Employ slow, circular motions for about 1-2 minutes to maintain the airiness of the whipped cream.
  3. Rinse your fresh strawberries, kiwi, and raspberries under cold water and pat them dry. Hull and slice the strawberries, peel and slice the kiwi, and keep the raspberries whole.
  4. Fold the prepared fruits into the cheesecake mixture, gently for 2-3 minutes, ensuring every piece of fruit is evenly coated.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the Hawaiian Cheesecake Salad for at least 1 hour.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle toasted shredded coconut over the top.
