Sunshine Fruit Salad

I got the inspiration for this creamy fruit salad from a frozen lemonade dessert recipe. The fluffy mixture would make a great filling for a pre-baked pie shell, too. And I'm sure it could work with any flavor of juice concentrate. Side note: I've adjusted the recipe to better accomodate the amount of fruit...my mix turned out to be a bit too much today. But regardless, it's really good for a large group!

Serves: 15-20


Ingredients:
-2 lbs. strawberries
-40 oz. pineapple chunks
-4 oz. fat free cream cheese, softened
-3 oz. 100% orange juice concentrate, thawed
-1/2 tub fat free cool whip, thawed


Directions:

1) Slice strawberries and drain pineapple chunks. Combine in a large bowl and set aside.

2) In a standing mixer with the wire whisk attachment, beat cream cheese with thawed orange juice concentrate. Fold in cool whip.

3) Add mixture to fruit and gently fold to combine. Freeze for at least one hour. Allow to thaw 20 minutes before serving.
