Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks, drained
  • 1 cup mandarin oranges, drained

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Method
 

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together in a large bowl until completely smooth and fluffy.
  2. Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Add all your prepared fruits, nuts, and marshmallows to the creamy base and fold everything together carefully.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a 9x13-inch pan or individual muffin cups lined with paper liners.
