There is always that one dish at every potluck that people hover around and this Cheesecake Fruit Dip is absolutely that dish. It’s just sweet enough that it feels indulgent but comes together so effortlessly, you will wonder why you do not make it every single week.
Serve it alongside a big platter of fresh fruit at your next barbecue, bring it to a summer gathering, or set it out as a dessert that everyone can dig into. However you serve it, just know it will be gone before you know it.
Okay, I am just going to say it. This Fluffy Cheesecake Fruit Dip might be one of the best things I have ever made and I would happily eat it every single day for the rest of my life. We first shared this recipe seven years ago and every single winter I find myself counting down the days until berry season so we can bring it back out and talk about it again. It is just that good.
Make this on a warm sunny afternoon, take it outside, and eat it with your family. Or bring it to your next barbecue and get ready to smile and nod when everyone crowds around asking who made it and where on earth the recipe came from.
Cheesecake Fruit Dip Ingredients
This fruit dip recipe is so versatile. I’m going to list out the ingredients that we love, but know from the start that you can totally swap out different fruits or flavors of yogurt. Here is what you will need:
- Instant Cheesecake Pudding: You want the pudding powder to add that classic cheesecake flavor.
- Cool Whip: adds sweetness and creaminess
- Strawberry Yogurt: adds more fruity flavor and creaminess to the salad. I don’t recommend plain Greek yogurt unless you’re adding additional sweeteners.
- Bananas: cut into ½ inch slices
- Strawberries: stem removed and sliced
- Raspberries: left whole but rinsed
- Optional: Blueberries, Blackberries, Peaches, Cherries, Apple Slices, or Grapes
- Graham Crackers: If you really want to make this salad taste like a true cheesecake, add crushed graham crackers. Vanilla wafers, pretzels, peanut butter cookies, or butter cookies work great too!
Best Dippers
After trying many different combinations of fruit in this recipe, I’ve decided my favorite dippers are fresh bananas, fresh strawberries, fresh blueberries, fresh raspberries, and fresh blackberries. So fresh! Haha!
