Ingredients

40 ounces Pineapple chunks drained
20 ounces Maraschino cherries drained and cut in half
10 ounces Mini marshmallows
3 cups Sweetened flaked coconut
12 ounces Chopped pecans
8 ounces Cream cheese softened
3.4 ounce Package instant cheesecake flavored pudding unprepared
1 cup French vanilla creamer liquid

Instructions

In a medium tall bowl, using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until it becomes smooth. It may bind up in the beaters, but continue as is and it will loosen up. Add dry pudding mix. Beat until well combined.
With mixer running slowly add creamer to the cream cheese mix. Add it about a tablespoon at a time and then mix until it becomes a smooth mixture and all of the creamer has combined into the cream cheese. Continue until all of the creamer has been added to the cream cheese. Whip until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine pineapple chunks, maraschino cherries, mini marshmallows, sweetened flaked coconut, and chopped pecans.
Pour cheesecake mixture over fruit. Gently fold cheesecake mixture into fruit.
Chill until ready to serve or serve immediately.

Notes

Do not pour all of the creamer into the cream cheese at once. It will get clumpy and no matter how long you beat it, it will stay that way. Trust me on this one.
If you have to substitute cream for the creamer, powdered sugar and vanilla would be the best swap. 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
To make Make Millionaire Cheesecake Salad Ahead: Prepare the cheesecake mixture and refrigerate in a bowl or sealed jar. Combine all of the fruit in a large bowl and refrigerate. Before serving, drain any excess liquid from the fruit and then add the coconut, marshmallows, and pecans. Fold the cheesecake filling into the fruit salad. Serve and enjoy!
