Cheesecake Fruit Salad

Instructions

1. Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then beat until fully combined and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and airy. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Fruit

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, green apples, and grapes.
  2. Gently toss to mix the fruits evenly.

3. Assemble the Salad

  1. Add the cheesecake filling to the fruit and gently fold to coat all the fruit evenly.
  2. Sprinkle with granola or crushed graham crackers for a satisfying crunch.
  3. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top for extra sweetness.

4. Chill & Serve

  1. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors blend and the filling set slightly.
  2. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • If making ahead, add the granola and caramel right before serving to maintain the crunch.
  • Serve in small cups or parfait glasses for a beautiful presentation.
  • Experiment with flavored cream cheese (like strawberry or honey pecan) for a fun twist.
