Party Freeze Salad

I'm not sure where this recipe came from, but it's always a hit at summer gatherings - we sometimes call it Strawberry Freeze Salad.

Ingredients:

8 oz Cream cheese - softened
1/4 cup honey
10 oz Frozen Sliced Strawberries, partially thawed (I usually use 1 oz unsweetened)
2 Ripe Bananas - sliced
1/4 to 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
8 oz tub of cool whip

Directions:
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add Honey and mix well. Add fruit and marshmallows, toss to coat. Fold in cool whip. Pour into a 13x9 dish and freeze overnight. Allow to thaw at room temp 30 minutes prior to serving.

Notes:
I use my stand mixer when I make this. When beating the cream cheese, I scrape the bowl twice to removed large clumps. I scrape the bowl again after mixing in the honey. After adding the strawberries, I allow he mixer to run on low while slicing in he bananas and adding marshmallows. I fold in the cool whip using a rubber spatula. This works great as a sweeter side dish or as a light dessert.
