Red, White and Blue Cheesecake Salad + VIDEO

Red, White and Blue Cheesecake Salad comes together so easy with fresh fruit and a rich and creamy cheesecake filling filling! Make it tonight.

I don't know about you, but I love my coffee so I always have creamer in the house.

I have found this to be an amazing convenient ingredient in cooking and baking sweets. So, of course, when I started thinking about creamy fruit salad I thought of coffee creamer (but you can use cream too. See the recipe notes for instructions.

I absolutely love fresh fruit and I am completely hooked on fruit salad.

With summer right around the corner and fresh berries calling to me at the market, I could think of nothing more perfect than a berry banana fruit salad.

But, not just any fruit salad. A cheesecake salad.

Rich and creamy cheesecake filling made with cream cheese, pudding and my favorite creamer. The creamer lends a richness and creaminess to the cheesecake filling and the perfect touch of sweetness.

The filling is folded into fresh strawberries, blueberries, and bananas to create the most amazing red, white, and blue fruit salad you have ever eaten.

Memorial Day weekend is the official launch of summer, but I tell you I am way ahead of you.

I am stocking up on summer salad ideas and boy oh boy do we have a good selection to choose from.

Summer Berry Cheesecake Salad, Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad, and Hawaiian Cheesecake Salad are three of our favorites!!!

Helpful Tips to make Red, White and Blue Cheesecake Salad:

• Do not pour all of the creamer into the cream cheese at once. It will get clumpy and no matter how long you beat it, it will stay that way. Trust me on this one.
• If the cream cheese and pudding mix get too thick, add in a splash of the cream to loosen it up. Then proceed with the recipe, minus the splash you already used.
• To make this ahead: prepare the cheesecake mixture and refrigerate in a bowl. Mix all of the fruit in a large bowl and refrigerate. Before serving, drain any excess liquid from the fruit and then fold the cheesecake filling into the fruit. Serve and enjoy!
• If you are out of creamer you can substitute: 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

Red, White and Blue Cheesecake Salad

Red, White and Blue Cheesecake Salad comes together so easy with fresh fruit and a rich and creamy cheesecake filling to create the most glorious fruit salad ever! Every bite is absolutely bursting with summer flavor and you are going to go nuts over this recipe!

Prep time: 15 MinTotal time: 15 Min

Ingredients

• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
• 1 (3.4-ounce) package instant cheesecake pudding, unprepared
• 1 cup International Delight French Vanilla Creamer
• 1 pound strawberries, cut into bite-size pieces
• 2 (6-ounce) containers blueberries
• 4 large bananas, sliced
• juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

1. In a medium tall bowl (I use my 8 cup measuring cup), using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until it becomes smooth. It may bind up in the beaters, but continue as is and it will loosen up. Add the dry pudding mix. Beat until well combined.
2. With the mixer on low, slowly add the creamer to the cream cheese mix. Add it about a tablespoon at a time and then mix until it becomes a smooth mixture and all of the creamer has combined into the cream cheese, repeat until all of the creamer has been added to the mixture. Whip until smooth. Refrigerate while you prepare the fruit.
3. In a large bowl, combine lemon juice and bananas. Stir to coat bananas completely and pour off any excess lemon juice. Add strawberries and blueberries. Gently stir to combine. Fold the cheesecake mixture into the fruit.
4. Chill until ready to serve or serve immediately.
