- 2 bananas, peeled and sliced
Dressing
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3.4 ounce box instant banana pudding mix
- 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Base: Add the softened cream cheese to the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on high speed until the cream cheese becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the powdered sugar and instant banana pudding mix into the cream cheese. Mix on medium speed until all ingredients are well combined, creating a smooth mixture.
- Incorporate Liquids: Pour in the milk and heavy cream gradually. Start mixing on low speed to avoid splashing, then increase to high speed and whip until the mixture is fluffy and light in texture.
- Fold in Fruits: Gently fold in the sliced strawberries and bananas to the whipped cream cheese mixture, distributing the fruit evenly without crushing it.
- Chill: Cover the salad and refrigerate for about 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.

Notes
- For best results, use fresh ripe strawberries and bananas for optimal flavor.
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature for a smoother mix.
- This salad is best served chilled but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the powdered sugar to 1/4 cup.
- Can be topped with chopped nuts or shredded coconut for added texture.
