Ingredients
Scale
For the Cheesecake Bites:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
For the Fruit Salad:
- 2 cups strawberries, halved
- 2 cups green grapes
- 1 cup red grapes
For the Toppings:
- ½ cup caramel sauce
- ¼ cup crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs
- ¼ cup chopped peanuts or pecans
- ¼ cup white chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Bites: In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Pour the mixture into a dish, chill in the fridge for 30 minutes, then cut into small squares.
- Assemble the Fruit Salad: Place the strawberries, green grapes, red grapes, and cheesecake bites in a serving dish, layering them evenly for a colorful presentation.
- Sprinkle and Drizzle: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers and chopped nuts over the top. Drizzle caramel sauce and white chocolate over everything. Serve immediately or refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes for a colder dessert experience.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth cheesecake bite texture.
- You can substitute nuts with any preferred variety like walnuts or almonds.
- For a nut-free option, omit the nuts and use extra graham crackers.
- The dessert can be prepared a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated.
- Use fresh, firm fruits for the best texture and flavor balance.
