Light, luscious and bursting with fresh fruit, this Cheesecake Fruit Salad is the ultimate creamy dessert side. Sweet cream cheese and whipped topping create a fluffy cheesecake-style filling that gently coats juicy berries and vibrant fruit.
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream (or 1½ cups whipped topping)
1 cup strawberries, sliced
1 cup blueberries
1 cup green grapes, halved
1 cup pineapple chunks (drained well)
1 kiwi or mandarin oranges (optional)
Optional: mini marshmallows or shredded coconut
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks (skip if using whipped topping).
Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and airy.
Carefully fold in prepared fruit, making sure fruit is dry to prevent excess moisture.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Stir gently before serving and garnish with extra fruit if desired.
