Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Mixture
- 1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 container (8 ounces) Cool Whip, thawed
Fruit
- 2 ½ cups sliced strawberries
- 1 ½ cups blueberries
- 1 ½ cups raspberries
- 1/2 cup blackberries
Instructions
- Beat cream cheese and sugar: In a large bowl, use an electric hand-mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and fully combined, creating a creamy base for the salad.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining the airiness of the whipped topping for a light texture.
- Add berries: Pour in the sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Carefully fold the fruit into the cheesecake mixture until everything is evenly distributed.
- Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. Serve immediately to preserve the texture and flavor of the berries and cream mixture.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- This salad is best served immediately but can be refrigerated for up to a day, though fruit may release liquid.
- You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a more natural option.
- Feel free to use any fresh or frozen berries of your choice.
