Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced

Creamy Base

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Start by washing and drying fresh strawberries. Hull and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Peel the ripe bananas and slice them evenly to match the strawberries for a harmonious texture blend.
  2. Make the Creamy Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Slowly fold in the whipped topping, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined and creamy, forming the luscious cheesecake-flavored base of the salad.
  3. Combine Fruit and Cream: Gently fold the sliced strawberries and bananas into the creamy base, making sure to coat each fruit piece evenly without mashing them. This keeps the salad light and fresh while fully infusing it with that cheesecake goodness.
  4. Chill and Serve: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least an hour. Chilling allows the flavors to meld beautifully and thickens the texture, resulting in a dessert salad that’s perfectly cool and refreshing when served.

Notes

  • Use fresh strawberries and ripe bananas for best flavor and texture.
  • Gently fold fruit into cream mixture to keep fruit pieces intact.
  • Chill the salad for at least one hour for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more powdered sugar or honey before chilling, if desired.
  • Serve within 24 hours to prevent fruit from becoming mushy.
