Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Base:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
For the Fruit Salad:
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
2 cups green apples, diced toss in lemon juice to prevent browning
2 cups red apples, diced toss in lemon juice
1 cup graham cracker crumbs optional, for crunch
For the Topping:
1/4 cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
Directions
1. Make the Cheesecake Base:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
2. Assemble the Salad:
In a large serving dish or tray, layer the strawberries, green apples, and red apples.
Spoon the cheesecake mixture evenly over the fruit, or fold it gently into the fruit for a combined salad.
3. Add the Toppings:
Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the fruit for added crunch and texture.
Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the entire salad.
Serve and Enjoy:
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for a cool, refreshing treat. This Cheesecake Fruit Salad is perfect for gatherings, potlucks, or as a quick, indulgent dessert!
