● 8 oz cream cheese, softened
● ¼ cup granulated sugar
● 1 tsp vanilla extract
● 1½ cups strawberry banana yogurt
● 8 oz whipped topping, thawed
● 4 cups fresh strawberries, quartered (reserve ½ cup)
● 2½ cups ripe bananas, sliced (reserve ½ cup)
1: Whip the base: Beat cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar and vanilla and mix until fluffy and creamy.
2: Make it dreamy: Fold in the yogurt and whipped topping until fully combined, then chill for 30 minutes.
3: Add the fruit: Just before serving, gently fold in strawberries and bananas.
4: Finish pretty: Garnish with the reserved fruit and serve immediately.
● Add bananas right before serving to keep them fresh.
● A little lemon juice on bananas prevents browning and adds brightness.
● Works beautifully with extra berries like blueberries or raspberries.
