Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 cups Green Apples, chopped
- 1 cup Grapes, halved
- 1 cup Pineapple Chunks, drained if canned
- 2 Bananas, sliced just before serving
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1/2 cup Caramel Sauce
- 1/4 cup Crushed Graham Crackers (optional)
Instructions
- Wash, hull, chop, and slice all the fruits—strawberries, green apples, grapes, pineapple, and bananas. Combine them gently in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the fruit mix and gently fold until every piece of fruit is coated.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the assembled salad or serve it on the side.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Best served chilled.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- For best results, slice bananas just before serving to prevent browning.
- Consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for a warm spice note.
