Creamy Cheesecake Fruit Salad: A Refreshing Dessert Twist

1. Make the Cheesecake Dressing

In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, whipped topping, yogurt, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer for best results until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

2. Prep the Fruit

Wash and chop your selection of fresh fruits into bite-sized pieces. Try to use a variety of colors and textures for the most appealing salad.

3. Combine

Gently fold the fruit into the cheesecake mixture until everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to crush any delicate berries while mixing.

4. Serve or Chill

Serve immediately for a soft, fresh texture, or cover and refrigerate until ready to eat. For best flavor and consistency, enjoy within 2 hours.
