Ingredients:
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
- Assorted fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, grapes, pineapple, etc.), washed, peeled, and chopped as needed
- Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent fruits from browning)
