Cheesecake Salad is a classic dessert “salad” with a luscious, creamy, cheesecake dressing. This salad is quick and easy to make and goes well with so many different dishes. Berry Cheesecake Salad Recipe Overview Born and raised in the Midwest, my love for dessert salads is deep-rooted. I’ve shared favorites like Raspberry Fluff, Frog Eye Salad, Watergate Salad, and creamy Grape Salad on this site. I’m excited to introduce another hit: a creamy berry cheesecake salad with fluffy cheesecake dressing. Easy and versatile, this salad is perfect for BBQs, picnics, parties, and holiday spreads. Although it’s got berries, feel free to customize it with any seasonal fruits you’re craving! Ingredients In Creamy Fruit Salad Berries: Use just strawberries (or whatever berry you like best) or a medley of berries. Low-Fat Vanilla Yogurt: Forms the creamy base of the dressing, providing smoothness and sweetness. Cheesecake Pudding Mix: Thickens and adds a cheesecake flavor to the dressing. Thawed Whipped Topping: Contributes to a light, fluffy texture, enhancing the dressing’s creaminess. Or make your own whipped cream! How To Make Cheesecake Salad Prepare Fruits: Wash, dry, and cut the strawberries, clementines, grapes, kiwis, and mangoes. Place them in a large bowl. Make Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla yogurt and dry cheesecake pudding mix until smooth. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping. Combine: Pour the dressing over the prepared fruits and toss gently to coat evenly. Serve: Enjoy your creamy fruit salad immediately or refrigerate until serving. Best if consumed within 1-2 days. VARIATIONS Switch It Up Vanilla Version: Substitute vanilla pudding for cheesecake pudding in this creamy fruit salad. White Chocolate Version: Use white chocolate pudding instead. As a Dip: Serve the dressing as a dip with fruits on the side. Fruit Variations: Add any favorite fruits like red grapes, pineapple, raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries. Lighter Option: Opt for sugar-free or reduced-fat whipped topping and sugar-free pudding mix (use two packets if sugar-free).
