Cheesecake Fruit Salad is a delightful and refreshing dessert that combines the creamy richness of cheesecake with the freshness of seasonal fruits. Here’s a simple recipe to prepare it:

 

Ingredients:
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
Assorted fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, grapes, pineapple, etc.), washed, peeled, and chopped as needed
Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent fruits from browning)
Instructions:
Prepare the Fruits:
Wash, peel, and chop the fruits as needed. If you’re using fruits that tend to brown quickly (like apples or bananas), you can toss them with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning. Drain excess juice if necessary and set aside.

Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and continue beating until well combined and smooth.
Mix in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the whipped cream or whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Combine Fruits and Cheesecake Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped fruits.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the fruits.
Gently fold the cheesecake mixture into the fruits until they are evenly coated.
Chill and Serve:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container.
Refrigerate the cheesecake fruit salad for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir.
Optionally, garnish with additional whipped cream and fresh fruit slices before serving.
Enjoy:
Serve the cheesecake fruit salad chilled as a refreshing dessert or snack.

Additional Tips:
Feel free to customize the fruits according to your preference or what’s in season.
Adjust the sweetness of the salad by adding more or less powdered sugar, depending on your taste.
You can also add extras like mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, or nuts for added texture and flavor.
This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
