Ladies, get ready to fall in love with this creamy and fruity Cheesecake Fruit Salad! It’s the perfect balance of indulgent cheesecake and fresh, juicy fruit—making it an ideal side dish for your next BBQ or ladies' get-together.
As soon as the weather warms up, I start craving chilled fruit salads and refreshing desserts. This cheesecake fruit salad has quickly become one of my go-to favorites! The smooth, sweet cheesecake filling combined with vibrant berries is a match made in heaven. My family can’t get enough of it, and even my picky niece devours it every time I make it.
Don’t let the name fool you—this recipe is super easy! Start by blending together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and Cool Whip until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together instant pudding, milk, and vanilla extract. Then, gently fold the pudding mixture into the cheesecake filling.
Now, fold in your choice of diced fruit. I love a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, but feel free to get creative with pineapple, kiwi, grapes, peaches, or whatever fresh fruits are in season.
Chill the salad in the fridge for at least an hour, and it’ll be ready to serve! It’s best enjoyed immediately so the fruit stays crisp, but you can also prepare it the day before—just keep the cheesecake filling and fruit separate until it’s time to mix them.
This gorgeous pink salad is tasty on its own, but for a little extra flair, drizzle honey on top or sprinkle with toasted coconut. It also makes a fabulous filling for crepes or pancakes! No matter how you serve it, this dessert will definitely impress!
