Berry Cheesecake Salad Ingredients

There are just a few simple ingredients in 4th of July cheesecake salad. You can find them in your grocery store.

• Strawberries — Use fresh strawberries, not frozen. This is the red component, but you can sub raspberries if you prefer.
• Blueberries — Fresh blueberries add the blue color. You can use blackberries if you have them.
• Cream cheese — Thawed cream cheese at room temperature is easiest to work with.
• Vanilla extract — for flavor
• Powdered sugar — for added sweetness
• Mini marshmallows — Fluffy marshmallows are a classic addition to dessert salads
• Cool Whip — thawed. You can use homemade whipped cream, but it doesn’t hold up as well.

How to Make Red White and Blue Cheesecake Salad

First, wash the berries, and pat dry. Pick out any stems from the blueberries. Then, cut strawberries into bite-size pieces.

In a large bowl or mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer (hand mixer) until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla and powdered sugar, and mix until smooth and well combined.

Add the berries and mini marshmallows. Then, gently stir in about half of the Cool Whip.

Mix until the berries are coated with the cheesecake mixture.

Finally, fold in the remaining whipped topping. Make sure to scrape any cheesecake mixture from the sides of the bowl.

We like to add some festive patriotic sprinkles to the top of this red white and blue salad. This is completely optional, but it’s a holiday salad!

How to Store Creamy Fruit Salad

This creamy strawberry blueberry fruit salad is best served right away or within a few hours of preparation. Store the salad in an airtight container in your refrigerator until ready to eat.

The fresh fruit will make the salad wetter the longer it sits, but it is still delicious the next day!

Recipe Tips

Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature and the Cool Whip is thawed before using.

If you want to add more fruit for more of a very berry cheesecake salad, use 16 oz whipped topping and more marshmallows.

Be sure to dry the rinsed fruit as much as possible before adding to the salad so the dressing doesn’t get too wet.
