Step-by-Step Instructions for Millionaire Cheesecake Salad
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip 8 oz of softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gradually add one small package of instant cheesecake flavored pudding mix to the whipped cream cheese. Mix on low speed until fully combined, approximately 1 minute.
  3. Slowly incorporate 1 cup of French vanilla creamer by adding one tablespoon at a time. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of pineapple chunks, 1 cup of halved maraschino cherries, 1 cup of mini marshmallows, 1 cup of sweetened flaked coconut, and 1 cup of chopped pecans. Stir gently until evenly mixed.
  5. Pour the creamy cheesecake mixture over the fruit and nut mixture. Gently fold them together using a spatula until just combined.
  6. Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual cups. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
