In a medium-sized bowl, whip the cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla, carefully whip until combined, slowly at first or it might splash. Add the heavy cream and whip again, be careful and whip slowly at first.
Pour the cheesecake sauce over the fruit. Gently fold it in until everything is coated. Be easy here and take your time so the fruit doesn't fall apart. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for one hour to chill. Serve with more fruit as garnish and mint sprigs, optional.
