REFRESHING COCONUT FRUIT SALAD
This is a wonderful fruit salad recipe that I made up a while back. I call it "refreshing" because it is still creamy but doesn't have a ton of sugar and marshmallow cream in it. The toasted coconut heightens the flavor while the untoasted gives a nice chewy texture to the whole thing. For an extra creamy salad, add 1/4 cup fruit yogurt.

Steps:
- Mix apples, oranges, pineapple, and banana in a large bowl. Add toasted* and untoasted coconut, along with coconut milk.
- To soften the cream cheese, zap it in the microwave for about 5-10 seconds. With a fork in a small bowl, cream the cheese with the sugar, add more if desired to taste.
- Dump the cream cheese on top of the fruit, and mix thoroughly to incorporate. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
- * To toast the coconut, spread on an ungreased pan and bake in a 300 degree oven just till lightly brown, around 3-5 minutes.
