The image shows a bowl filled with a colorful fruit and yogurt parfait. At the bottom, there is a creamy white layer of yogurt. On top of the yogurt, there are multiple small, fresh fruit pieces arranged in a scattered way, including bright red strawberry slices, green grapes, and dark purple grapes, giving a vibrant mix of colors. Sprinkled over the fruit, there are small clusters of crunchy granola adding texture. A light drizzle of golden honey covers parts of the fruit and granola, adding a shiny finish.

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: Prepare the cheesecake bites by beating the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: 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.
Step 3: Cut the cheesecake mixture into small squares and chill them in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Step 4: Assemble the fruit salad by layering strawberries, green grapes, red grapes, and the chilled cheesecake bites in a serving dish.

Step 5: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers and chopped nuts over the top. Drizzle caramel sauce and white chocolate drizzle over everything.
Step 6: Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes for an extra chilled dessert.

Tips & Variations

Use mixed nuts like almonds or walnuts if you prefer a different crunch.

Swap caramel sauce for chocolate syrup for a richer flavor.
For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with whipped coconut cream.
Add other fresh fruits like blueberries or kiwi for extra color and flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover fruit salad covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Because the cheesecake bites are delicate, it’s best to enjoy the salad fresh to maintain texture. If refrigerated, allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best flavor.
