Recipe Introduction

This is delicious and makes a wonderful presentation. The fruits can be varied depending on what's in season. The second time I made this, I layered 1 cut up fresh pineapple, 1 quart of strawberries, kiwi, and red grapes. I also added a little lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture. Wonderful!

List of Ingredients

bite-sized pieces of cantaloupe and/or honeydew melon
red grapes
kiwi, sliced and cut in half
sliced strawberries
fresh blueberries
white grapes

Topping:
8 ounces cream cheese -- softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 pint whipping cream -- whipped
Garnish:
sliced strawberries and blueberries -- optional


Recipe

Layer fruits in the order listed in a large glass bowl. (I used a 4 1/2 quart Pyrex bowl.)

For the topping, with a mixer blend cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice; mix well. By hand fold in the whipped cream. Spread this mixture over the fruit and chill.

If desired, garnish with strawberries and blueberries by placing them in a flower pattern on the top (strawberries as the petals and the blueberries as the center). Don't stir before serving.
