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 softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until 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. Cut the cheesecake mixture into small squares and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Assemble the Fruit Salad: Once the cheesecake bites are chilled, take a serving dish and layer the strawberries, green grapes, red grapes, and cheesecake bites.
- Sprinkle and Drizzle: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers and chopped nuts over the top. Drizzle caramel sauce and white chocolate drizzle over everything. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes for an extra chilled dessert.
Notes
- This dessert is best served chilled to keep the cheesecake bites firm and refreshing.
- You can substitute peanuts or pecans with any nuts of your choice based on preferences or allergies.
- For a vegan variation, use dairy-free cream cheese, coconut cream, and vegan caramel and chocolate drizzle.
- Make sure to whip the cream to stiff peaks for the cheesecake bites to hold their shape properly.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
