- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries or ½ cup strawberry jam
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Cool Whip or whipped topping
- Optional garnish: extra strawberries, pineapple tidbits, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Beat the Cream Cheese

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat again until fully combined and silky. - Fold in Fruit
Gently fold in the crushed pineapple and chopped fresh strawberries (or strawberry jam) using a spatula.
Tip: If using fresh strawberries, pat them dry so the dip doesn’t become watery. - Add the Whipped Topping
Fold in the Cool Whip until the mixture is light, creamy, and evenly blended. - Chill
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken. - Serve
Spoon into a serving dish and top with extra fruit if desired.
Notes
- Softening the Cream Cheese
Let your cream cheese sit at room temperature for best results it ensures a silky, lump-free dip. - Drain, Don’t Dry
Lightly draining the pineapple keeps the dip from being runny while still giving you plenty of juicy flavor. - Chilling Is Key
The hour in the fridge helps the dip firm up and deepens the fruit flavor throughout the mixture.
