Cheesecake Fruit Salad is the perfect dessert for fruit and cheesecake lovers! Combining fresh strawberries, green apples, grapes, and a creamy cheesecake filling, topped with crunchy granola or graham crackers and a luscious drizzle of caramel sauce. This easy-to-make, crowd-pleasing treat is a must-have for any gathering.

Ingredients

2 cups strawberries, hulled and halved

2 cups green apples, cored and diced

1 cup red grapes, halved

1 cup granola or crushed graham crackers

1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.

  • Prepare the Fruit: In a large bowl, combine strawberries, green apples, and grapes. Gently toss to mix.

  • Assemble the Fruit Salad: Spread a generous layer of the cheesecake filling over the fruit mixture and gently fold the filling into the fruit, ensuring everything is coated evenly. Top with granola or crushed graham crackers. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top for added sweetness.

  • Serve: Chill the cheesecake fruit salad for about 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • To prevent apples from browning, toss them in lemon juice before adding them to the salad.

  • For a dairy-free option, swap cream cheese and heavy cream for dairy-free alternatives.

  • Customize the fruit selection with other favorites like blueberries, peaches, or pineapple.
