A quick and refreshing no-bake dessert salad combining a creamy cheesecake base with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and white grapes. Perfect for summer gatherings and patriotic celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh white grapes, halved
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar, vanilla extract, and honey (if using) until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes on medium speed.
  2. In a separate cold bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until combined and fluffy.
  4. Rinse and dry the strawberries, blueberries, and grapes. Slice the strawberries, halve the grapes, and keep the blueberries whole.
  5. In a large serving bowl, layer the fruit and cheesecake mixture or gently fold the fruit into the cheesecake mixture for a marbled effect.
  6. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top or fold them in for added crunch (optional).
  7. Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and texture firm up.
  8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves just before serving.

Notes

Soften cream cheese at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or microwave in short bursts to avoid lumps. Whip cream separately to keep texture light. Fold gently to maintain fluffiness. Add crunchy toppings just before serving to keep them crisp. For dairy-free version, use vegan cream cheese and coconut cream. Frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained.
