  • 1.5 cups Heavy Whipping Cream 360ml, chilled
  • 0.5 cup Powdered Sugar 60g
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract 5ml
  • 2 cups Fresh Pineapple 330g, diced into chunks
  • 1 lb Fresh Strawberries 450g, sliced
  • 3 large Kiwi Fruit approx 200g, sliced into rounds
  • 6 oz Fresh Raspberries 170g, kept whole
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice 15ml, to prevent browning

Equipment

  • 1 Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer Used for aerating the cheesecake base.
  • 1 Large Clear Glass Serving Bowl Essential for the visual presentation.
  • 1 Silicone spatula For gentle folding of delicate fruit.

Method
 

Prepare the Cheesecake Base
  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  2. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until an aerated, dolloped texture is achieved.
Assemble the Salad
  1. Dice the pineapple, slice the strawberries, and slice the kiwi into rounds. Toss them with lemon juice and pat dry.
  2. Add pineapple, strawberries, and kiwi to the cheesecake base. Toss gently so some pieces are coated and others remain visible.
  3. Fold in the whole raspberries last to prevent them from breaking and bleeding color into the cream.
