Description
A creamy, no-bake dessert that combines cheesecake filling with fresh fruit, served in a convenient tin foil tray. Perfect for parties, BBQs, and potlucks.
Ingredients
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– ½ cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup whipped topping (or homemade whipped cream)
– 2–3 cups mixed fresh fruit (strawberries, grapes, apples, bananas, kiwi, blueberries)
– Optional: caramel drizzle, granola, nuts, or mini marshmallows
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until fluffy.
3. Gently fold in whipped topping to create a light cheesecake base.
4. Wash, dry, and chop fruits into bite-sized pieces. Toss apples/bananas with lemon juice if using.
5. In a tin foil tray, layer half the cheesecake mixture, then fruit, followed by the rest of the cheesecake mixture.
6. Top with remaining fruit.
7. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
8. Garnish with caramel, granola, or mint if desired.
Notes
– Best served within 24–36 hours for freshness.
– Avoid overly juicy fruits like watermelon or citrus to prevent sogginess.
– For a lighter version, swap whipped topping for Greek yogurt.
