Introduction
If you’re craving a dessert that’s light, refreshing and delightfully creamy, this cheesecake fruit salad is your go‑to. It takes fresh fruit, wraps it in a cheesecake‑style filling of cream cheese and whipped cream, and turns it into a dessert salad that’s both decadent and easy. I first made it for a summer potluck and it was gone before I could grab seconds.
Why You’ll Love This Dessert Salad
Creamy cheesecake flavour meets fresh fruit
The base of cream cheese and whipped topping gives that classic cheesecake richness, while the mosaic of fresh fruit maintains brightness and texture.
