Ingredients
Scale
Fruits and Berries:
- 1 (10 ounces / 280 grams) package frozen strawberries in juice, thawed
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
Dairy Products:
- 1 (8 ounces / 225 grams) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (8 ounces / 225 grams) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Sweeteners:
- 1/2 cup white sugar
Instructions
- Whip cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until achieving a velvety, uniform consistency.
- Incorporate thawed strawberries and drained pineapple, stirring thoroughly to distribute fruits evenly throughout the creamy base.
- Delicately integrate whipped topping, folding gently to maintain a light, airy texture without deflating the mixture.
- Prepare a loaf pan by lining it completely with parchment paper, ensuring full coverage of bottom and sides.
- Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula for an even finish.
- Place the pan in the freezer for approximately 6 hours, or until the dessert becomes completely solidified and maintains a sliceable form.
- When ready to serve, briefly submerge the pan’s exterior in warm water for 15-20 seconds to facilitate easy removal.
- Carefully invert the frozen dessert onto a cutting board, gently peeling away the parchment paper.
- Slice into neat, uniform portions and serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture without lumps.
- Drain strawberries and pineapple thoroughly to prevent excess liquid from making the dessert watery.
- Use low-fat cream cheese and sugar substitute for a lighter, diabetes-friendly version of the dessert.
- Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or mint leaves before serving to enhance visual appeal and add a burst of freshness.
