Description

This Best Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad Recipe is a delightful, no-bake dessert that combines creamy cheesecake flavors with fresh strawberries and bananas. It’s a quick and easy recipe perfect for summertime gatherings or a light, fruity indulgence. With the richness of cream cheese and yogurt balanced by sweet marshmallows, this salad offers both texture and taste in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 box (3.4 ounces) instant cheesecake pudding mix, dry
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit and Add-ins

  • 2 cups sliced strawberries
  • 3 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to coat bananas)
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for a perfect texture.
  2. Add Pudding Mix and Milk: Incorporate the dry instant cheesecake pudding mix and milk into the cream cheese, then beat the mixture until it thickens and becomes creamy.
  3. Mix in Yogurt and Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla yogurt and vanilla extract thoroughly to combine all flavors into the creamy base.
  4. Coat the Bananas: In a separate bowl, gently toss the sliced bananas with lemon juice to prevent browning and keep them fresh-looking.
  5. Combine Fruits and Marshmallows: Carefully fold the sliced strawberries, coated bananas, and mini marshmallows into the cheesecake mixture until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Chill the Salad: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and the salad chill thoroughly before serving.
  7. Serve: Serve the cheesecake salad cold, optionally topped with crushed graham crackers for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Add crushed graham crackers on top before serving for extra cheesecake flair.
  • This salad is best enjoyed the same day, as bananas may brown over time even with lemon juice.
  • For a fruitier twist, you can also add blueberries or pineapple chunks.
