Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad

Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad
I combined cream cheese, pudding mix and coffee creamer to create a spectacular rich and creamy cheesecake filling.

In the fruit mixture, I squeezed fresh lemon juice over sliced strawberries and bananas.

That prevents the bananas from browning, but it also gives the cheesecake salad a little brightness and zing!

This new summer salad is so good it is sure to take the place of your favorite fruit salad.

And say goodbye to Aunt Ida’s ambrosia salad and HELLO to Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad. The new queen of the summer picnic table.

We couldn’t stop eating it, and you’re going to go bananas over it too! <- Sorry, pun intended. I couldn’t help myself. Helpful Tips for Making Cheesecake Salad: Do not pour all of the creamer into the cream cheese at once. It will get clumpy and no matter how long you beat it, it will stay that way. Trust me on this one. If you have to substitute for the creamer, use 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. To make this ahead: prepare the cheesecake mixture and refrigerate in a bowl. Mix all of the fruit in a large bowl and refrigerate. Before serving, drain any excess liquid from the fruit and then fold the cheesecake filling into the fruit. Serve and enjoy
