Description

This Red White and Blue Cheesecake Salad is a vibrant, creamy dessert salad perfect for summer gatherings and patriotic celebrations. Featuring a luscious cheesecake-flavored cream cheese base whipped to smooth perfection, combined with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and bananas coated in lemon juice for a tangy brightness. Ready in just 15 minutes, this no-cook dessert is both visually stunning and delightfully sweet.

Ingredients

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 3.4 ounces instant cheesecake pudding mix (unprepared)
  • 1 cup liquid French vanilla creamer (see notes)

Fruit

  • 1 pound strawberries, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 12 ounces blueberries
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
  • 4 large bananas, peeled and sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: In a medium tall bowl, such as an 8-cup measuring cup, use an electric mixer to whip the cream cheese until smooth. Although the cream cheese may initially bind up in the beaters, continue mixing until it loosens. Then add the dry cheesecake pudding mix and beat until everything is well combined.
  2. Incorporate the Creamer: With the mixer running on low speed, slowly add the French vanilla creamer one tablespoon at a time. Make sure each tablespoon is fully incorporated before adding the next. Continue this process until all the creamer is added and the mixture is completely smooth. Refrigerate this cheesecake mixture while you prepare the fruit.
  3. Prepare the Fruit: In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice with the sliced bananas. Stir gently to coat the bananas completely with lemon juice to prevent browning. Pour off any excess lemon juice. Add the bite-sized strawberries and blueberries, gently stirring to mix all the fruit together evenly.
  4. Combine and Serve: Carefully fold the chilled cheesecake mixture into the bowl of fruit, making sure the fruit stays intact and the mixture is well distributed. Serve the salad immediately, or cover and refrigerate until you are ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use liquid French vanilla creamer for the best flavor and texture in the cheesecake mixture.
  • The lemon juice not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the bananas from browning.
  • This salad is best served chilled and eaten within a day for optimal freshness.
  • You can substitute other berries or fruits if desired, but blueberries, strawberries, and bananas provide the classic red, white, and blue theme.
