Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cheesecake Dressing
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • 0.3333333333 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit
  • 2 cup strawberries sliced
  • 2 cup blueberries
  • 2 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup blackberries
Optional Garnish
  • 0.5 cup Crushed graham crackers optional
  • 1 Fresh mint leaves optional

Method
 

Make the cheesecake dressing
  1. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, using a hand mixer on medium speed for about 1 to 2 minutes, until no lumps remain (visual cue: silky, uniform texture).
  2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix on low to combine for 30 to 60 seconds (visual cue: the mixture looks pale and thick).
  3. Mix until creamy for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping the sides once or twice (visual cue: smooth, spoonable consistency).
  4. Fold in the Greek yogurt gently until fully incorporated for 30 to 45 seconds (visual cue: no visible yogurt streaks).
  5. Fold in the whipped topping gently until the dressing is airy and uniform for 30 to 60 seconds (visual cue: light, mousse-like texture).
Assemble the fruit salad
  1. Place strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries into a large bowl (visual cue: berries are evenly mixed across the bowl).
  2. Pour cheesecake mixture over the berries (visual cue: dressing coats the top layer).
  3. Gently fold until berries are evenly coated for 1 to 2 minutes (visual cue: berries glisten with dressing).
  4. Refrigerate for 30 minutes (visual cue: salad firms slightly and looks cooler and more set).
Garnish and serve
  1. Garnish with graham cracker crumbs before serving (visual cue: crumbs sprinkled evenly over the surface).
  2. Serve chilled (visual cue: dressing stays thick while berries remain juicy).

Notes

Pro tip: fold the berries gently to keep the raspberries from breaking down too much. Refrigerate in a covered container for up to 3 days; stir once before serving. Freezing is not recommended for best berry texture. Dietary swap: use lactose-free cream cheese and lactose-free whipped topping for a lactose-free version.
