Berry cheesecake salad with fresh mixed berries tossed in a creamy dressing.

Who else is excited about the abundance of cheap and delicious berries in the stores right now?! While berries are amazing to eat on their own as a snack, they’re even better in this berry cheesecake salad. It’s a blend of ripe and juicy berries that’s coated in a light and fluffy cheesecake mixture. This is the ultimate summer side dish, perfect for a barbecue or potluck! Best of all it only takes minutes to make.

How do you make berry cheesecake salad?

This recipe starts with fresh berries, and lots of them. I use equal parts of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. You don’t have to use all four types of berries, it’s fine to mix and match with whatever you have on hand. Sometimes I add pitted and halved fresh cherries too for a special treat. This recipe will not work with frozen fruit, it’ll turn into a soggy mess – fresh is best here!

The cheesecake fluff is a blend of cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, cream, and whipped topping. You can substitute milk for the cream, and use real whipped cream instead of the whipped topping if you prefer. You can also add different flavor accents, like lemon or lime zest, or almond extract instead of vanilla extract. There are so many different possibilities here!

You want to make sure your cream cheese is very soft and gets beaten completely smooth before you add in the other ingredients. This salad is best served the day that it’s made. It’s so delicious that you don’t have to worry about there being any leftovers anyways!

      When I made this, I used light cream cheese light Cool Whip, And 1% milk. I believe it cut down on the calories quite a bit and was still absolutely delicious !
