Description
This Cheesecake Fruit Salad brings a creamy, velvety texture to your favorite summer berries and tropical fruits, combining a tangy cream cheese base with the natural sweetness of fresh fruit.
Ingredients
8 oz Cream Cheese
1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
3 tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 cups Fresh Strawberries
1 cup Blueberries
1 cup Green Grapes
1 cup Pineapple Chunks
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat the mixture until it is completely smooth and free of any lumps
- Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the bowl. Continue beating for another minute until the dressing for your Cheesecake Fruit Salad is light and airy
- Carefully wash all of your fruit and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels
- Slice the strawberries and halve the grapes, ensuring all fruit pieces are roughly the same size
- Gently fold the prepared fruit into the cream cheese mixture using a large silicone spatula
- Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully before serving
Notes
For a lighter version, consider using Neufchâtel cheese or low-fat cream cheese.
Fresh fruits should be used as much as possible as they hold their shape better than canned fruits.
