I absolutely love fresh fruit and I am completely hooked on fruit salad. With summer right around the corner and fresh berries calling to me at the market, I could think of nothing more perfect than a berry banana fruit salad. But, not just any fruit salad. A cheesecake salad.
Rich and creamy cheesecake filling made with cream cheese, pudding and my favorite creamer. The creamer lends a richness and creaminess to the cheesecake filling and the perfect touch of sweetness. The filling is folded into fresh strawberries, blueberries and bananas to create the most amazing red, white and blue fruit salad you have ever eaten. Memorial Day weekend is the official launch of summer, but I tell you I am way ahead of you.
I am stocking up on summer salad ideas and boy oh boy do we have a good selection to choose from. Summer Berry Cheesecake Salad, Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad, and Hawaiian Cheesecake Salad are three of our favorites!!!
RED, WHITE AND BLUE CHEESECAKE SALAD
PREP TIME: 15 MINS
COOK TIME:
TOTAL TIME: 15 MINS
INGREDIENTS
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
- 1 (3.4-ounce) package instant cheesecake pudding, unprepared
- 1 cup International Delight French Vanilla Creamer
- 1 pound strawberries, cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 (6-ounce) containers blueberries
- 4 large bananas, sliced
- juice of 1 lemon
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a medium tall bowl (I use my 8 cup measuring cup), using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until it becomes smooth. It may bind up in the beaters, but continue as is and it will loosen up. Add the dry pudding mix. Beat until well combined.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the creamer to the cream cheese mix. Add it about a tablespoon at a time and then mix until it becomes a smooth mixture and all of the creamer has combined into the cream cheese, repeat until all of the creamer has been added to the mixture. Whip until smooth. Refrigerate while you prepare the fruit.
