Description

This Red White and Blue Cheesecake Salad is a delightful no-bake dessert that combines creamy sweetened cream cheese and whipped topping with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and optional raspberries, accented by mini marshmallows for a fun, fluffy texture. Perfect for patriotic celebrations or a refreshing summer treat, this dessert salad is easy to prepare, chilled to blend flavors, and serves six.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Base

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

Fruit & Add-Ins

  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 ½ cups blueberries
  • 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup raspberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer or by hand until it becomes smooth and creamy. This step ensures a lump-free and silky cheesecake base.
  2. Add Sweeteners and Flavor: Incorporate the powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are fully combined for a sweet and fragrant base.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. This lightens the texture, making it fluffy and creamy without deflating the whipped topping.
  4. Combine Fruits and Marshmallows: Carefully stir in the sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries if using, and mini marshmallows. Mix just enough to distribute the ingredients evenly without bruising the fruit or crushing the marshmallows.
  5. Chill to Set: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling time allows the salad to firm up and the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  6. Serve: Once chilled, serve the cheesecake salad cold as a festive, creamy dessert perfect for summer gatherings or holiday celebrations.

Notes

  • Best served chilled to maintain texture and flavor.
  • To make ahead, prepare the cheesecake base and refrigerate separately, then fold in fruit and marshmallows just before serving to keep them fresh and fluffy.
  • Raspberries are optional but add extra color and tartness if included.
