🔪 How to Make Mixed Berry Cheesecake Salad
Add the cream cheese to a mixing bowl and fluff up using a hand mixer. Then set aside.
Pour the heavy cream into a separate mixing bowl and whip with a hand mixer.
Add in the cream cheese, sweetener and vanilla, then continue mixing.
Add the fresh berries on top.
Fold the berries into the cream mixture.
Chill it in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
💡 Tips
- Let the cream cheese sit out for 15-20 minutes so it blends smoother.
- Use a hand mixer for both bowls. It’s faster and gives you the fluffiest texture.
- Make sure your berries are dry before folding them in to avoid a watery salad.
- If using frozen berries, thaw and drain them completely before adding.
- Scrape down the bowl as you mix so everything stays light and evenly combined.
☑️ Storage Instructions
You can store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Just give it a stir before serving if any liquid from the fruit juices separate.
🔄 Substitutions and Additions
- Chocolate: Fold in a few sugar-free chocolate chips for a fun twist.
- Extracts: Add a few drops of lemon or orange zest for a citrusy punch. Or maybe a little almond or coconut extract for a fun twist.
- Topping: Drizzle with a sugar-free chocolate or berry syrup before serving.
- Cookie crumbles: Stir in crushed keto shortbread cookies for texture and flavor.
- Yogurt: Mix in a few spoonfuls of Greek yogurt for a tangier base.
Can I Use Frozen Berries Instead of Fresh?
Yes, but make sure they’re fully thawed and drained so the salad doesn’t get watery.
Why is My Cream Cheese Filling Lumpy?
The cream cheese was likely too cold. Let it soften first and beat until smooth before adding anything else.
Can I Make This Dessert Ahead of Time?
Definitely. It’s great made a few hours ahead. Just give it a gentle stir before serving.
Can I Use a Different Sweetener?
Yes, any powdered sugar-free sweetener should work. Granulated versions can make the texture gritty.
What’s the Best Way to Serve Dessert Salad at Parties?
You can spoon into mini cups or jars and chill until ready to serve. It looks cute and stays portioned.
