Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 6 cups mixed fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, grapes, pineapple, kiwi)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts or shredded coconut for topping

Instructions
