I am all about simple, and this side dish or dessert, is as easy as they come. If you are looking for a light, fruity, flavorful food, that will have your family and friends raving about, you need to make this Berry Cheesecake Fruit Salad. It is simply, the best.

I’m loving all of the fresh, juicy berries that are in season right now. Whether you serve this fruit salad as a dessert or side dish, this Berry Cheesecake Fruit Salad Recipe is sure to be a hit.

If you live in an area, where the fruit isn’t fresh, don’t stress. You could easily use frozen berries for this recipe.

There are no words to describe how delicious this is, so I guess you will just have to try it yourself.

Tips on how to make berry cheesecake Fruit salad:

This Berry Cheesecake Fruit Salad, is extremely easy to make, however, we do have a few tips for you, when making it. Here they are:

Your cream cheese will work best when it is nice and fluffy. In order to get this desired fluffy texture, you may need to leave your cream cheese out for a little bit, to get it to room temperature.When mixing it, be sure to not add any other ingredients to it. Let the hand mixer beat the cream cheese to a smooth and fluffy texture, before adding any other ingredients.If you don’t it may create cream cheese bumps in your salad.
Other pudding’s won’t work. It needs to be the instant vanilla packet, when making this recipe.
We also recommend adding the milk little by little, just to get that desired texture. Sometimes when you put ingredients in all at once, it can lead to lumping, or a funky texture.
If you do decide to use frozen fruit, thaw and dry them with a paper towel before adding them to the salad. If you don’t your salad will get too much moisture in it, and it will turn watery.
As long as you follow the instructions and the ingredients list, this salad will be perfectly smooth and fluffy without any lumps or flaws.

Questions & Reviews

Traci Kenworth says:

Looks yummy!

Evie Schilling says:

I’m definitely going to make it for Mother’s Day!

Jodi says:

Made tonight. Was very runny. Any suggestions?

Anne says:

Yes mine is very runny too😢

Cyd says:

We have not had a problem with this being runny. Was your cream cheese cold? It should be. Just add the pudding mix to the 2 cups of milk. Don't prepare it and then add the milk. Also, your fruit needs to be pretty dry. If it's dripping with water from rinsing it off, that water will make your salad runnier. Hope this helps.

Ann Rodriguez says:

First you say mix the pudding mix and the cream cheese, then add the milk, then in comments you say mix the pudding mix and milk, then add to the cream cheese. Opposite instructions - which is it to be?

Cyd says:

Sorry to confuse you. I didn't want that person to make the pudding according to the package and then add in all of the other ingredients. That would be way too much milk. So I was trying to clarify that. But follow the recipe according to the recipe instructions- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Then add vanilla pudding mix and mix to combine. I hope this helps you! Let us know if you have any other questions.

Linda says:

mine too was very runny. You asked if the cream cheese was cold, but in the tips you suggest the cream cheese be at room temperature.

Cyd says:

Yes, cream cheese at room temp. Some have microwaved it to soften and that is too soft. Maybe add the milk slowly and stop when you get to the desired creamy texture. Be sure fresh fruit is dry after washing it. Fresh fruit works better than frozen.

Emily Salley says:

Is it best if you make this recipe the day of or the day before?

Cyd says:

You can make it the day of for the best taste.

Stacy says:

Ours was too, we just kept mixing it with the mixer and it finally became more solidified.

Carrie says:

Usually enjoy you’re stuff. I think this recipe might need some fixing. Very runny. Glad I didn’t add it to the berry mix. We will just have a bowl of berries for our bbq instead.

JNash says:

Mine turned out like soup. I'm hoping it will thicken as it sits.

Cyn says:

This recipe came out perfect! I didn't end up using 2 cups of milk, only a small amount was perfect texture for us. This was delicious!

Katy Banks says:

There are a bazillion sweet fruit salad recipes out there, but this is the absolute best! I’m not a big fan of the fake cool whip flavor that most salads are made from. This really tastes like a yummy cheesecake with fruit! I always add canned pineapple and whatever berries I can find!!
