A creamy, no-bake cheesecake fruit salad combining a medley of fresh fruits with a luscious cheesecake filling, topped with a sweet caramel drizzle. This easy-to-make dessert is perfect for gatherings or a refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Fruit Salad:

  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 cups green apples, chopped
  • 1 cup grapes (red or green), halved
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned), drained
  • 1 cup bananas, sliced

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (chilled)

For the Caramel Drizzle:

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Wash and prep all the fruits by slicing, chopping, or halving as required. Combine them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Assemble the Salad: Pour the cheesecake filling over the mixed fruits. Gently fold the mixture to coat the fruit evenly without breaking the pieces.
  4. Add Caramel Drizzle: Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the salad or serve it on the side for added sweetness.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled salad for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with extra caramel drizzle or crushed graham crackers for texture.

Notes

  • Toss banana slices in lemon juice to prevent browning and keep them fresh looking.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more powdered sugar to the cheesecake filling if desired.
  • Use seasonal fruits to vary the salad according to availability and preference.
