Ingredients
Scale
For the Cheesecake Bites:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
For the Fruit Salad:
- 2 cups strawberries, halved
- 2 cups green grapes
- 1 cup red grapes
For the Toppings:
- ½ cup caramel sauce
- ¼ cup crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs
- ¼ cup chopped peanuts or pecans
- ¼ cup white chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Bites: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Shape the cheesecake mixture into small squares and chill them in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.
- Assemble the Fruit Salad: After the cheesecake bites are chilled, take a serving dish and layer the halved strawberries, green grapes, red grapes, and the cheesecake bites evenly.
- Sprinkle and Drizzle: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers and chopped nuts over the top of the layered ingredients. Drizzle caramel sauce and white chocolate drizzle over everything. Serve immediately for a fresh experience or refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes to enjoy as a chilled dessert.
Notes
- Use cold heavy cream for easier whipping.
- Feel free to substitute nuts based on preference or allergies.
- To make it more refreshing, refrigerate for a bit before serving.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based cream cheese and whipped cream alternatives.
- Ensure cheesecake bites are fully chilled to maintain shape when assembling.
