Fruit Salad Recipe

Mix the fruit together and chill. Put the softened cream cheese in a double boiler, along with the heavy syrup drained from the fruit cocktail. Melt the cream cheese into the syrup, stirring constantly, until a thick sauce is created. If it's too thin, add more cream cheese. If it's too thick, add more syrup (white Karo will work in a pinch, but use sparingly).

Pour the sauce over the chilled fruit and mix well. Top with coconut. Chill for a couple of hours. Just before serving, put a big spoonful of whipped topping on each person's serving.
