On top, there are whole grapes in green and dark red colors scattered evenly. Bright red strawberry slices with their seeds and juicy texture are placed among the grapes. Sprinkled throughout are small pieces of crunchy granola, adding a rough texture. A light drizzle of honey or syrup shines over the fruit, making it look glossy and sweet. The bowl sits on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups strawberries, halved
2 cups green grapes
1 cup red grapes
½ cup caramel sauce
¼ cup crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs
¼ cup chopped peanuts or pecans
¼ cup white chocolate drizzle

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, beat the 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 small pan or dish and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes until firm. Once chilled, cut into small squares.
Step 2: In a serving dish, layer the halved strawberries, green grapes, red grapes, and the chilled cheesecake bites.
Step 3: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers and chopped nuts evenly over the top. Drizzle the caramel sauce and white chocolate drizzle over everything. Serve immediately or refrigerate for another 30 minutes if you prefer it extra chilled.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor and texture in your salad.
Swap peanuts or pecans for your favorite nuts like almonds or walnuts to suit your taste.
For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream for whipping and a dairy-free cream cheese alternative.
Try adding other fruits like blueberries or kiwi for extra color and variety.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The cheesecake bites may soften over time, so it’s best enjoyed fresh. If needed, let refrigerated salad sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving and give a gentle stir to refresh the texture.
