Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Mixture:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1 (3.4 oz) package instant cheesecake pudding mix (dry)
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fruits:
- 2 cups strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 1½ cups blueberries
- 1½ cups grapes (halved)
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup mandarin orange segments (drained)
Instructions
- Cheesecake Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla yogurt, dry cheesecake pudding mix, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth; the mixture will thicken slightly.
- Adding Fruits: Gently fold in the sliced strawberries, blueberries, grapes, pineapple chunks, and mandarin oranges until all the fruit is evenly coated.
- Chill and Serve: Chill the salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend and the texture to firm up slightly. Serve cold.
Notes
- You can customize the fruit based on seasonal availability.
- Avoid using overly juicy fruits like watermelon as they can water down the cheesecake base.
- For extra sweetness, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar to the cream mixture.
