Make this refreshing, creamy fruit salad with a sweet cheesecake dressing. It is simple to prepare and perfect for potlucks or as a light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 8 oz whipped topping, thawed (like Cool Whip)
  • 1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 (15 oz) can pineapple chunks, drained well
  • 2 cups green grapes, halved
  • 3 bananas, sliced

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Fold in the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Do not overmix. This is your creamy cheesecake dressing.
  4. In a very large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, drained pineapple chunks, halved grapes, and sliced bananas.
  5. Gently pour the cheesecake dressing over the fruit mixture. Use a large spatula to fold the dressing into the fruit until everything is lightly coated.
  6. Cover the salad and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
  7. Serve cold as a side dish or a sweet treat.

Notes

  • For best results, drain the pineapple very well to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • If you are making this ahead of time, slice the bananas just before serving to prevent browning.
  • This salad works well with any combination of firm, fresh fruit you prefer.
  • Consider this recipe as part of your weekly meal planning for easy gathering prep.
