Cool and creamy fruit dessert

This chilled dessert combines cream cheese, yogurt, oranges, peaches and pineapple. It's topped with toasted coconut.

Ounce for ounce, mandarin oranges have about half the vitamin C that oranges do, but they have three times the vitamin A (carotene).

Ingredients (Serves 4)

4 ounces fat-free cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 can (15 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
1 can (14.5 ounces) water-packed sliced peaches, drained
1 can (8 ounces) water-packed pineapple chunks, drained
4 tablespoons shredded coconut, toasted

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, yogurt, sugar and vanilla. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat until smooth.

Drain the canned fruit. In a separate bowl, combine the oranges, peaches and pineapple. Add the cream cheese mixture and fold together. Cover and refrigerate until well-chilled.

Transfer to a serving bowl or individual bowls. Garnish with shredded coconut and serve immediately.
