Cream Cheese Fruit Salad

The amounts really depend on how much you want!

1 16-24 oz can fruit cocktail in syrup, drain and reserve the syrup*

Bite sized pieces of

bananas

apples

oranges

grapes

walnut pieces

1 8oz of cream cheese

coconut(optional)

Mix all fruit and walnuts together and chill

in double boiler soften cream cheese slowly stir in heavy syrup until you get a thick cream, too thin? add more cheese, too thick? add more syrup.

Pour sauce over fruit and toss well top with coconut and chill for several hours. Great with a dollop of whipped cream!

* don't want to used canned fruit?? Add 100% fruit juice to thin the cream cheese and add a few chopped pears!
