Instructions

Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries and blueberries, then dice the strawberries into bite-sized pieces roughly the size of the marshmallows.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, salt, and powdered sugar until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
Stir in half of the thawed whipped topping until fully incorporated, then gently fold in the remaining half using a silicone spatula to maintain volume.
Carefully fold the prepared strawberries, blueberries, and mini marshmallows into the cream base until every piece is evenly coated.
Transfer to a serving bowl or container and refrigerate for at least 30 to 60 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften slightly before serving.

Notes

To ensure the best texture, always start with room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps in your base. If you are preparing this in advance, wait to add the fruit until a few hours before serving to prevent the juices from thinning the cream dressing.
