I can’t believe how quickly this year is going!  It’s like I blinked and it was the end of the school year, then I blinked again and it’s nearly an entire month later.  Pure craziness!  We’ve already had a few cookouts and potlucks, and I know there will be MANY more.  We just love a great cookout in our family!

One thing that’s always been missing from our cookouts is a great fruit salad.  Sure we could just dump some sliced fruit in a bowl, but once I made this cheesecake salad I knew I couldn’t go back!  It’s so creamy, so light, and SO easy to make!  Just 15 minutes and a handful of ingredients!

WHAT IS CHEESECAKE SALAD

I can already hear some of you… “that’s not a salad!”.  And you’re right!  In the traditional lettuce-type of salad, no, it’s not.  But in a creamy fruit salad kind of way… absolutely!  Cheesecake salads are usually made with no-bake cheesecake filling/pudding and frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), then folded together with fresh fruit.  This version also utilizes some strawberry yogurt to bring even more fruit flavor into the dish!

CAN CHEESECAKE SALAD BE MADE AHEAD

Absolutely!  In fact, it tastes better that way.  The only trick is to only make the filling part ahead of time, then add the sliced fruit right before serving.  If you combine them the fruit can be a bit mushy, and if you’re using bananas, they will discolor.

OTHER CHEESECAKE FRUIT SALAD VARIATIONS

The beauty of cheesecake salads is that they’re incredibly versatile!  Any fruit you like, you can add it!

  • Pineapple, mango, mandarin oranges
  • Grapes, kiwis, raspberries
  • Blackberries, melon, etc

If you’re not a huge fan of no bake cheesecake filling, a great substitute is a package of white chocolate pudding mix!  It adds a different, richer flavor, but is still delicious.  To make this dessert a little lighter on sugar, use sugar free pudding mix, yogurt and light or sugar free whipped topping.

Chef Tips

Make sure to add fruit just before serving so it doesn't get mushy or discolored.

    can you add pineapple, mangos, or / and apples with this. I made it and it was simply great. Going to make it again but wondering about
    adding other fruit.

      I haven’t tested it with those fruits, but I think those would be yummy and work well 🙂

    I seem to be the only one who did not care for this recipe. There was too much Cool Whip that completely swallowed up the fruit. I might try it again using only 1/2 of the Cool Whip and see if that is better. It was too sweet for me and the CoolWhip was overwhelming. Sorry!

    Turned out fantastic. I left out the marshmallows. I used light yogurt, and lite Cool whip.
