This simple Summer Berry Cheesecake Salad recipe comes together with just 5 ingredients. Rich and creamy cheesecake filling is folded into your favorite berries to create the most amazing fruit salad ever! Your family will go nuts over it.
I am stocking up on summer salad ideas and boy oh boy do we have a good selection to choose from.
Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad, and Hawaiian Cheesecake Salad are two of our favorites!!!
As I am sure you remember I love my coffee and always have creamer on hand, so it is super convenient to use in my recipes.
You know, grocery shopping is kind of overwhelming sometimes, so I plan as best I can and always go prepared with a list but you always see things that look good and aren’t on the list.
I really try to make better choices in what I put in my cart to help eating healthier and once I saw this Simply Pure Coffee Creamer at my local Safeway, I had to pick it up!
April is Earth month and Safeway is celebrating with their Every Cart Counts promotion.
They are living it up with brands that make a impact on our diets and the health of the planet. Simply Pure is one of those brands.
Their creamer is made with real milk, cream and cane sugar!
I have been seeing a lot of great summer berries and I couldn’t help myself. I had to grab them and take them home.
I picked up the best looking berries I could find and decided to whip up the cheesecake portion of this simple dish using just my coffee creamer and some cream cheese.
The creamer lends a richness and creaminess to the cheesecake filling and the perfect touch of sweetness.
This recipe is so easy and ohhhh so delicious. We couldn’t stop eating it. I know you are going to love it too.
Helpful Tips to make Summer Berry 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.
- 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 have to substitute for the creamer: cream, powdered sugar and vanilla would be the best swap.
1/2 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Enjoy!
With love, from our simple kitchen to yours.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries, hulled and cut into quarters
- 9 ounce container blueberries, washed and dried (remove stems)
- 9 ounce container raspberries, rinsed and dried
- 8 ounce package cream cheese
- 1/2 cup Vanilla Coffee Creamer
Instructions
- Prepare berries and lay them on paper towels to dry while you prepare the cheesecake mixture.
- In a medium tall bowl, 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.
- With mixer running slowly add creamer to the cream cheese. 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. Continue until all of the creamer has been added to the cream cheese. Whip until smooth.
- Combine berries in a large bowl. Gently fold in cheesecake mixture until completely combined.
- Chill until ready to serve or serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

Can you use Fat Free Cream Cheese to make this more diet friendly??
Fat-free Cream Cheese should work, but I haven't tested it that way. Please let us know how it goes. Enjoy!
I tried it with fat, by mistake, it didn't set well. Nor did the fat free cool whip work either. Live a little leave the fat free stuff in the store.😆
Can you use something in place of the cream cheese by chance?
I made this and didn't care for it my family didn't either
I was thinking of using cottage cheese blended in the blender for the cream cheese.
Can you use frozen berries..
Just made this…..it is so good! Can't wait for it to chill.
Can you use frozen berries instead?
No, when they thaw they get juicy and mushy.
WOnder if it would be watery with FROZEN BERRIES – they are just so much cheaper. A clamshell of raspberries costs about 4.00 here, and not even organic! Blackberries about the same and I won't eat non-organic strawberries, but if I did those are about 4.00 a container (quart), so we're around 12 bucks just for the fruit!

I'm going to try frozen but adding a couple of tablespoons of vanilla pudding to help absorb the excess fruit juice. It should work.
Any luck with the frozen berries and pudding?
Just made this with fat free creamer (only because that's what I use anyway) and added a clam shell of blackberries too. It's SO good! It's chilling now (minus one bite).
Love it!
This is a SUPERB fruit salad! We LOVE it!
Thanks so much!! We are do happy you enjoy it!
I made your red white and blue salad, and love it. But I noticed on the summer cheesecake recipe you did not use the instant cheesecake pudding. Is that correct? Thank you!
I can't find Simply Pure Vanilla International Delight. Can you suggest a substitution? Would French Vanilla International Delight be too sweet?
Does anyone know how many people this serves? I want to make it this weekend for a group of 7.
Made this tonight and it is SO delicious. Made it with raspberries and blackberries, lucky for us they were on sale. Will definitely make again
Can I just use store bought cheesecake filling already made
I'm on the Keto diet so I'm going to sub the strawberries for the sugar free strawberry jello
Can you use Italian Sweet Cream Creamer with vanilla extract?
I absolutely loved all of your other cheesecake salads! This one is amazing and packed with flavor.
What amount per person?
