Description

Red White and Blue Cheesecake Salad is a delightful no-bake dessert featuring a creamy cheesecake mixture combined with fresh strawberries, blueberries, mini marshmallows, and optional red grapes. This patriotic and refreshing salad is perfect for summer gatherings and potlucks, offering a sweet and fluffy treat that’s easy to prepare and visually appealing.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

Fruit and Add-ins

  • 2 cups sliced strawberries
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup halved red grapes (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Beat the Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until everything is well combined and smooth.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping to the cream cheese mixture, making the mixture light and fluffy without deflating it.
  4. Add Fruit and Marshmallows: Add sliced strawberries, blueberries, mini marshmallows, and red grapes if using, and gently stir to coat all the ingredients evenly with the cheesecake mixture.
  5. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired for added freshness and presentation.

Notes

  • For best texture, prepare just a few hours before serving to avoid sogginess.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt for half of the whipped topping for a tangier flavor and added protein.
  • Avoid using frozen fruit as it can release excess water, making the salad watery.
