Make this creamy, refreshing fruit salad with a tangy cheesecake dressing. It is a simple, crowd-pleasing dessert perfect for potlucks and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed (or substitute with more heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks)
  • 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained well
  • 2 cups strawberries, sliced
  • 2 cups grapes, halved
  • 1 cup blueberries

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
  3. Fold in the thawed whipped topping until the dressing is uniform and light. Do not overmix.
  4. In a separate large bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, sliced strawberries, halved grapes, and blueberries.
  5. Gently fold the fruit mixture into the cheesecake dressing until all the fruit is coated.
  6. Cover the salad and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly; excess liquid will thin the dressing.
  • For a berry-focused salad, substitute the pineapple with raspberries or blackberries.
  • You can prepare the cheesecake dressing up to one day ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator. Add the fruit just before serving.
  • If you want a slightly tangier dressing, add 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt to the cream cheese mixture.
