Description
A delightful dessert that combines fresh fruits and creamy cheesecake for a refreshing and satisfying treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Granny Smith Apples
- 1 cup Pears
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 8 oz Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 cup Cookie Crumbs (e.g., graham crackers)
- 1/2 cup Caramel Sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruits: Start by washing and chopping the Granny Smith apples, pears, and strawberries. Put them in a large bowl and drizzle with lemon juice to keep them fresh.
- Make the Cheesecake Mixture: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to give it a light texture.
- Combine Everything: Take the chopped fruits and fold them gently into the cheesecake mixture until well coated.
- Add Cookie Crumbs: Add the cookie crumbs to the fruit-cheesecake mixture and stir until they’re evenly distributed.
- Drizzle with Caramel: Finally, gently drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the salad.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least an hour to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled for a refreshing treat.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for cream cheese. To maintain the crunch, add cookie crumbs just before serving.
