I didn't have any fresh fruit on hand, so I used frozen fruit instead. It worked just as well.

I had some trouble finding cream cheese that was at room temperature. I ended up microwaving it for a few seconds to soften it up.

This fruit cheese log was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time I make it.

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can use any type of fruit you like, and you can even add nuts or chocolate chips if you want. I've also made a savory version of this log using cheese and herbs.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had some strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries that were about to go bad, so I threw them all in the food processor and made this log. It turned out amazing!
