8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup grapes, halved

1 cup blueberries

2 bananas, sliced

1/4 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; mix until well combined.

2. Fold in whipped topping until light and fluffy.

3. Add strawberries, grapes, blueberries, and bananas. Gently fold into the cheesecake mixture.

4. Transfer to a serving bowl or individual cups.

5. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top just before serving.

6. Chill for at least 30 minutes for best texture and flavor.

Add chopped nuts or crushed graham crackers for crunch.

Use any seasonal fruit—kiwi, pineapple, raspberries work great.

Wait to add bananas until just before serving to prevent browning.
