On top, there is a thick layer of granola with a crunchy texture. Fresh green and red grapes, along with sliced red strawberries, are scattered over the granola layer, adding bright green and red colors mixed with soft and shiny textures. A light drizzle of honey glistens on the fruit and granola, giving a glossy look. 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: 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, then gently fold it 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: Once chilled, layer the strawberries, green grapes, red grapes, and cheesecake bites in a serving dish.
Step 5: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers and chopped nuts over the top, then drizzle caramel sauce and white chocolate drizzle evenly over everything.
Step 6: Serve immediately or refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes for a more chilled dessert.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh, firm fruit to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
Substitute the nuts with your favorite variety or leave them out for a nut-free version.
For added flavor, toss the fruit with a little lemon juice and honey before assembling.
White chocolate drizzle can be made by gently melting white chocolate chips and drizzling with a spoon.

Storage

Store the fruit salad covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best texture, add crunchy toppings and drizzle just before serving. Reheat is not recommended as it is meant to be served chilled.
