Description
A light and creamy dessert salad that combines the tangy sweetness of cheesecake with the refreshing flavor of strawberries. Perfect for any occasion, this easy and customizable recipe is a crowd-pleaser at any meal or potluck.
Ingredients
Cheesecake pudding mix (3.4 oz box)
Whipped topping (12 oz), or whipped coconut cream for a healthier option
Strawberry yogurt (3 x 6 oz containers), use low-fat or Greek yogurt as alternatives
Fresh strawberries (1 lb), washed and sliced
Mini marshmallows (3 cups, optional for crunch)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the cheesecake pudding mix. Gradually whisk in the three containers of strawberry yogurt. Keep whisking until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping until evenly incorporated. Stir in the sliced strawberries. For added texture, optionally stir in the mini marshmallows. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the salad is chilled and set. Once ready, give it a quick stir and transfer to individual serving bowls or a large serving dish. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and whipped coconut cream. You can substitute the strawberries with cherries or peaches to match seasonal availability. Adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding a bit of honey or maple syrup, if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
