Ingredients

For the Fruit Salad:
• 2 cups strawberries, hulled and halved
• 2 cups green apples, cored and diced
• 1 cup red grapes, halved
• 1 cup granola or crushed graham crackers
• 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

For the Cheesecake Filling:
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
    • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
    • In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
  • Prepare the Fruit:
    • In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, green apples, and grapes. Gently toss to mix.
  • Assemble the Fruit Salad:
    • Spread a generous layer of the cheesecake filling over the fruit mixture and gently fold the filling into the fruit, making sure everything is coated evenly.
    • Top with granola or crushed graham crackers for added texture and crunch.
    • Drizzle with caramel sauce over the top for an indulgent, sweet finish.
  • Serve:
    • Chill the cheesecake fruit salad for about 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
    • Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, crunchy, and fruity dessert!

Notes

  • You can use other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or peaches if you prefer.
  • Make sure to chill the salad before serving to allow the filling to set properly.
  • For a healthier version, you can swap out the granola for a lower-sugar option or skip the caramel sauce.
