Basically a tropical fruit salad with cream cheese. However, by putting the bananas through the cream sauce instead of through the salad, you get something unexpected and very, very good. The only thing that kept this from four stars is the lack of balance in the fruits: there is just way too much pineapple. Half a pineapple is probably a better quantity.
