Ingredients

Scale

Cream Cheese Mixture

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 4 ounces plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla for added sweetness)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped Cream

  • 4 ounces whipped cream

Fresh Fruit

  • To taste fresh fruit of your choice (such as pineapple, strawberries, or kiwi)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Place softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Incorporate the Greek Yogurt: Add Greek yogurt to the cream cheese mixture and mix thoroughly until the texture is fully combined and smooth.
  3. Sweeten the Mixture: Gradually add powdered sugar to the mixture while continuously mixing to achieve a sweetened and smooth base.
  4. Add Vanilla Extract: Stir in vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile of the cheesecake mixture.
  5. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mixture, taking care not to overmix, to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
  6. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld and the salad to set slightly.
  7. Prepare the Fruit: While chilling, wash and chop your selected fresh fruits such as pineapple, strawberries, or kiwi into bite-sized pieces.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Layer or gently mix the chopped fresh fruits into the chilled cheesecake mixture, then serve in individual bowls garnished with extra fruit pieces for a colorful presentation.

Notes

  • Use vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain for a sweeter taste without extra sugar.
  • For best results, chill the salad for at least one hour but it can be refrigerated longer to deepen flavors.
  • Substitute any fresh fruits depending on seasonal availability and personal preference.
  • This dessert is great for potlucks and can be made ahead of time.
