Description

This No Bake Cheesecake Fruit Salad is a refreshing and creamy dessert that combines the smoothness of cheesecake with the natural sweetness of fresh mixed fruits. Easy to prepare without any baking, it’s perfect for warm days or when you want a quick, crowd-pleasing sweet treat. The luscious cream cheese mixture, lightly sweetened and flavored with lemon and vanilla, is folded with vibrant fruits like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and kiwi, creating a delightful balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit Salad

  • 2 cups (about 300g) mixed fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi), chopped into bite-sized pieces

Optional Garnishes

  • Additional fresh fruit for garnish
  • Whipped cream or Greek yogurt for serving

Instructions

  1. Beat Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer. This ensures the base of your cheesecake salad is silky and free of lumps.
  2. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese, beating continuously until the mixture is well combined and smooth. This adds sweetness and creaminess to the mixture.
  3. Incorporate Lemon Juice and Vanilla: Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract, then continue beating the mixture until creamy and uniformly mixed. The lemon juice provides a slight tang that balances the sweetness.
  4. Fold in Fresh Fruit: Gently fold the chopped mixed fresh fruit into the cheesecake mixture, ensuring even distribution while keeping the fruit pieces intact for texture and visual appeal.
  5. Transfer and Chill: Pour or spoon the cheesecake fruit salad into a serving dish or individual serving cups. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the mixture to set and chill thoroughly.
  6. Garnish Before Serving: Just before serving, add additional fresh fruit on top for a decorative and fresh touch. Optionally, add a dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt to enhance the richness or add a tangy note.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the cheesecake fruit salad chilled as a refreshing dessert perfect for any occasion. Enjoy the creamy texture combined with the burst of fresh fruit flavors!

Notes

  • You can substitute cream cheese with a vegan cream cheese alternative to make this dessert vegan-friendly.
  • Use fruits that are in season for the freshest taste and best value.
  • For extra texture, add chopped nuts such as almonds or pecans when folding in the fruit.
  • If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the amount of sweetened condensed milk slightly.
  • The salad keeps well for up to 2 days covered in the refrigerator but is best enjoyed fresh.
