Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Bites
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Fruit Salad
- 2 cups strawberries, halved
- 2 cups green grapes
- 1 cup red grapes
Toppings
- ½ cup caramel sauce
- ¼ cup crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs
- ¼ cup chopped peanuts or pecans
- ¼ cup white chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Bites: In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Cut the cheesecake mixture into small squares and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Assemble the Fruit Salad: Once the cheesecake bites are chilled, take a serving dish and layer the strawberries, green grapes, red grapes, and cheesecake bites evenly to create a colorful, fresh base.
- Sprinkle and Drizzle: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers and chopped nuts over the fruit and cheesecake layer. Drizzle caramel sauce and white chocolate drizzle on top for added sweetness and texture. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to enjoy as a chilled dessert.
Notes
- You can substitute nuts with your favorite choice or omit for a nut-free version.
- For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping.
- Make sure to chill the cheesecake bites thoroughly for a firmer texture that holds shape in the salad.
- This dessert is best served within 1 day for optimal freshness.
- Try adding other fresh fruits like blueberries or kiwi for variation.
