What a terrific fruit salad. It looks gorgeous and tastes even better. I didn't whip my cream so that it was firm but the dressing was still thick, at least it didn't spread over the salad. I wondered if I should have left it out of the fridge for the hour. I really wouldn't complain about the dressing though as it tasted fabulous. Just a reminder not to expect it to drizzle into the salad. I will use this mixture again and again. Thanks for posting your recipe. Made for ZWT5 Hell's Kitchen Angels.

I really enjoyed this salad. Like others, I beat my whipping cream too long and the dressing came out thick. Perhaps, I will use a bit less cream cheese next time in addition to reducing the time I whip the cream. There was not a kiwi to be found in the store, I substituted grapes. I eyeballed the ingredients and ended up with a pretty big bowl of fruit. This recipe is a keeper.
