Ingredients
- Cream cheese, softened
- Greek yogurt or sour cream
- Powdered sugar or honey (to taste)
- Vanilla extract
- Fresh strawberries, chopped
- Blueberries
- Grapes, halved
- Pineapple chunks
- Bananas (optional, add just before serving)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
- Add Greek yogurt (or sour cream), powdered sugar or honey, and vanilla. Mix until fully combined.
- In another bowl, gently toss together all the prepared fruits.
- Fold the cheesecake mixture into the fruit until everything is evenly coated.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- If using bananas, slice and add them just before serving to prevent browning.
Notes
- Swap Greek yogurt for whipped topping for a fluffier version.
- Add-ins like mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, or nuts offer extra texture.
- Use tropical fruits like mango, kiwi, or mandarin oranges for a twist.
- Light cream cheese works, but full-fat gives the best creamy texture.
- Pat fruit dry after washing to avoid excess water in the salad.
