Cheesecake Fruit Salad: A Creamy, Fruity Delight

Serving: This salad is perfect for serving at barbecues, brunches, or family gatherings. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or other light dishes.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The fruit may release some juice over time, but the salad will remain delicious.
Variations
Add Nuts: For added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts (like walnuts, pecans, or almonds) on top before serving.
Use Different Fruits: Feel free to swap out fruits depending on what’s in season or what you have available—mango, kiwi, or peaches are great additions!
Make it Lighter: Replace the heavy cream with whipped topping or use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream for a lighter version.
FAQ
1. Can I make this fruit salad ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare this salad a few hours in advance and refrigerate it. However, if you’re using bananas, it’s best to add them last to prevent them from browning.

2. Can I use frozen fruit?
While fresh fruit works best for texture and flavor, you can use thawed frozen fruit in a pinch. Just be sure to drain excess liquid from the fruit before mixing it into the salad.

3. Can I make the dressing without cream cheese?
Yes, you can use mascarpone cheese or a non-dairy cream cheese alternative to make the dressing. The flavor will still be creamy and delicious!
