Berry Cheesecake Salad
I am loving the fresh and delicious berries that are starting to pop up in the stores right now. I love fresh fruit! We eat so much fruit around here it is crazy. I am always trying to think of yummy ways to use up our fruit. I needed a side to take to a gathering and this idea popped into my head.
Why don’t I make a creamy cheesecake fluff for this fruit to get mixed with? Cheesecake+Fruit? What’s not to love!?
So I combined two of my favorite things for one amazing result! It was simple to throw together and the fruit was so delicious buried inside this cheesecake fluff. It was sweet, and creamy and made one amazing side!
This side was such a hit. The bowl was completely scraped clean and everyone raved about it.
I know that you will love it just as much as we did! It is sure to be the hit of your gathering and is the perfect side.
How do you make Berry Cheesecake Salad?
- In a [url:1]large bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. [url:2]Fold in the thawed cool whip.
- Add strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Fold carefully into the cream cheese mixture. Serve immediately.
- *If unable to find cool whip, a great substitute would be 2 cups of vanilla yogurt.
Can you use frozen fruit?
Yes, you can! It will look better with fresh fruit and you will not have the running colors but it will still taste great with frozen fruit.

Made this yesterday for a family BBQ, and it was a total hit!! People were raving about it and asking for the recipe!! So simple to make and so light and refreshing! I made it exactly as written except I doubled the recipe, and it was all gone except for a little that I hid away for myself for later!! Thanks for sharing!! ?
How much whipped cream would you use instead of cool whip we eat very clean and cool whip is full of chemicals.
I would recommend the same amount or less depending on your choice. Whipped cream does sound delicious!! XOXO

Love recipes for different ways to serve fresh fruit.
Will this be ok if I made tonight for a gathering over church tomorrow?
You are welcome to try it! Sometimes fruit dips don’t last as long in the fridge or the cream will turn more of another color. Let me know how it turns out and enjoy it at church tomorrow!! Thanks for choosing one of my recipes! XOXO
Made the Very Berry Cheesecake recipe using just strawberries and blueberries. Delicious! What is the nutrition values for the dessert?
I like to use skinnytaste.com or myfitnesspal.com for any nutritional questions I may have. Hope that you can use the same and find the answers you are looking for. Thanks so much for following along with me! XOXO
Can ;you use frozen berries? as long as there defrosted?
Yes, that is a great idea! They may be a little different after thawing. Sometimes softer and mushy but it should still work great! Hope you enjoy! XOXO
I made this today and discovered it is delicious! I only used 1/4 cup of sugar and it is plenty sweet. It is fast and easy, very filling, and satisfying. I would like it more as a dessert. If I are it with my meal, it would fill me up too much for the rest of the meal. A great summer dish for company or to bring to a gathering.
I would increase the amount of fruit
I’d like to try this, but I wondered how you store leftovers, if you have any.. lol.
haha! You are right! It is rare that we have leftovers but I do love my food saver if I am freezing anything and then Tupperware for any leftovers for the week. Hope that helps! XOXO
Does anyone know the nutritional info? How many carbs?
I like to use skinnytaste.com or myfitnesspal.com for any nutritional information. Hope that helps and you are able to find the answers you are looking for. Thank you so much for following along with me! XOXO
Is this keto friendly? I usee erythritol sugar instead.
I think it would be. I used whipping cream (8oz) and swerve (confectioners) 2T. Tastes fantastic!
Can it be stored in the fridge and still taste good? Or should it all be eaten right away?
You are welcome to store it in the refrigerator but not for longer than 24 hours. Hope you enjoy it! XOXO
Made this for mt 4th of July party and everyone loved it. I also served it with graham crackers on the side so you could dip them in it which made it taste even better in my eyes.
Can I use Stevia instead of regular sugar?
Yes! That will be a great substitution.
What can I substitute for Cool Whip, as it’s not available in my area
Cool whip is the best but heavy whipping cream and cream cheese do work as a substitute. It will just not be as thick and heavy.
Actually Delicious dish i have never tried this one but i would like to have. Can we add some more fruit along with berry? and can we use this in a wedding
Yes, of course! That sounds great!
