Description

A refreshing and colorful dessert salad featuring cream cheese, fresh berries, and graham cracker crumbs, perfect for summer gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 cups blueberries
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  3. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, and mini marshmallows.
  5. Carefully fold the fruit mixture into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
  6. In a serving dish or individual cups, layer the cheesecake mixture and graham cracker crumbs, starting with a layer of cheesecake.
  7. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheesecake on top.
  8. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt and reduce powdered sugar to ½ cup.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice for a refreshing twist.
  • For added crunch, mix in chopped nuts or use crushed cookies instead of graham cracker crumbs.
