This Very Berry Cheesecake Salad is a delightful and refreshing dessert salad combining creamy sweetened cream cheese, fluffy Cool Whip, and a medley of fresh berries.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 1 (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed

Berries

  • 3 cups strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: In a large bowl, use a mixer to beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  2. Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture, blending it evenly to create a light and fluffy cheesecake-like base without deflating the whipped topping.
  3. Add the Berries: Carefully fold in the strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries into the cream cheese mixture. Mix just enough to combine all the berries without breaking them down too much.
  4. Serve Immediately: Once combined, serve the Very Berry Cheesecake Salad right away to enjoy the fresh textures and flavors, or chill briefly if preferred.

Notes

  • To thaw Cool Whip, leave it in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
  • You can substitute any mix of fresh berries according to availability or preference.
  • This salad is best served fresh as the berries may release juice over time.
  • For added texture, consider topping with chopped nuts or graham cracker crumbs before serving.
  • If you prefer a sweeter salad, adjust the sugar amount to taste.
