Description
A refreshing dessert combining cream cheese and fresh fruit, drizzled with caramel and topped with granola.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 2 cups mixed fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, and diced peaches)
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup granola

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it is smooth and well combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated, creating a creamy cheesecake filling.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the mixed fresh fruit. If you are using additional fruit for garnish, set aside a few pieces for later.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the mixed fruit and gently stir until the fruit is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
- Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the fruit and cheesecake mixture, and gently fold again to incorporate the caramel slightly.
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual bowls for a prettier presentation.
- Sprinkle granola over the top for a delightful crunch.
- Drizzle remaining caramel sauce on top of the granola and salad for an extra sweet touch.
- Garnish with the reserved fruit pieces if desired.
- Serve immediately as a refreshing dessert or chill in the refrigerator for up to an hour before serving for a colder treat.
Notes
- Best served fresh, but can be refrigerated for up to one hour.
