Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I was looking through my recipe folders for a nice fruity dessert, and came across this one that I haven't made in a while. It is so good and easy. You can use frozen berries if you can't find fresh; you can use any colorful combination of fruits you find appealing. It makes a lot of servings, but if you are like us it sure won't last long even if there are only 4 of you. We eat leftovers for snacks and with breakfast. Rainbow Fruit Salad 2 large firm bananas, sliced 2 Tbs lemon juice 2 cups cubed sweet mellon (your choice) 2 cups fresh or canned pineapple chunks 1 pint fresh strawberries, halved 1 pint fresh blueberries 3 kiwifruit, peeled and sliced 2 packages (3oz each) cream cheese, softened 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar 2 Tbs fresh lime juice 1/2 tsp grated lime peel 1 cup whipping cream, whipped Toss bananas and lemon juice; place in a 4-qt. glass serving bowl. Add remaining fruit layers. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, lime juice and peel. Stir in a small amount of whipped cream; mix well. Fold in remaining whipped cream. Spread over fruit. Chill until serving.
