Strawberry banana cheesecake salad is a dessert-like delight, blending creamy cheesecake flavors with the natural sweetness of fresh fruit.

Fresh strawberries and ripe bananas contribute juicy sweetness and tropical banana essence, resulting in an indulgent salad reminiscent of cheesecake in every bite.

You’ll need:

  • 1 (8-ounce) package of cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups of strawberry banana yogurt
  • 1 (8-ounce) container of whipped topping, thawed
  • 4 cups of fresh strawberries, washed, tops removed, hulled, and quartered (reserve ½ cup for garnish)
  • 2½ cups of ripe bananas, peeled and sliced (just before you are ready to serve, reserve ½ cup for garnish)

Substitutions And Additions

YOGURT: If you cannot find strawberry banana yogurt, you can substitute strawberry yogurt or vanilla yogurt in this creamy strawberry banana salad.

MIX-INS: You can add other fresh berries to the salad, such as blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and even grapes.

There are endless possibilities for this very adaptable salad.

How To Make This Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad Recipe

Once you mix up the cheesecake dressing, you can carefully mix it with the fruit. Don’t forget to give your salad a bit of time to chill in the fridge before serving.

STEP ONE: Using a large bowl and an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the softened cream cheese for 1 to 1½ minutes until smooth.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so you don’t end up with any lumps in your creamy mixture.

If you want to include additional or different fruits in the creamy cheesecake filling, the sky’s the limit. Any fruit would be delicious mixed with the creamy cheesecake filling.

Can I use frozen berries in this salad?

Can I freeze this salad?

We don’t recommend freezing this strawberry and banana cheesecake salad recipe as the fruit will become mushy, and the cream cheese will become watery when thawed.
