Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Bites
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Fruit Salad
- 2 cups strawberries, halved
- 2 cups green grapes
- 1 cup red grapes
Toppings
- ½ cup caramel sauce
- ¼ cup crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs
- ¼ cup chopped peanuts or pecans
- ¼ cup white chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Bites: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Cut the cheesecake mixture into small squares and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Assemble the Fruit Salad: Once the cheesecake bites are chilled, take a serving dish and layer the halved strawberries, green grapes, red grapes, and cheesecake bites evenly.
- Sprinkle and Drizzle: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers and chopped nuts over the top of the fruit and cheesecake layer. Drizzle the caramel sauce and white chocolate drizzle over everything. Serve immediately or refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes for a more chilled dessert.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, omit the peanuts or pecans and replace with toasted coconut flakes.
- Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor and texture.
- Chilling the cheesecake bites before assembling helps them hold their shape in the salad.
- Can be stored in the refrigerator covered for up to 24 hours but is best enjoyed fresh.
