Tips For Making Mixed Berry Cheesecake Salad

This berry salad is best served the same day it’s made. I would only leave it stored in the fridge, with an airtight seal, for up to 2 days. It gathers moisture easily and the fruit tends to go bad quickly because of it.
You can mix the cream cheese and sugar by hand, but it’s a lot easier to use a hand or stand mixer for this step, especially if you struggle to grip things. It can definitely be quite the job beating down that cream cheese, even at room temperature.
Some of the berries will want to give a bit when you’re folding them into the mixture. That’s ok, that will distribute some of the berry flavors. You don’t want all of them to smash, as that will make for an ugly salad.
Be sure to use fruit that’s very fresh and not frozen. If it’s close to going bad, be sure to serve the salad that day.
If you like a sweeter salad, add a half cup of sugar instead of a third.
Any vanilla will work, I just like using the clear so it keeps the salad whiter.

Steps For Making Mixed Berry Cheesecake Salad

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. I use a stand mixer. You can do this by hand but it’s much easier to use a mixer.
Add the whipped cream and mix it into the cream cheese mixture well.
Add the berries and gently fold them into the mixture until they’re evenly distributed. Make sure you fold gently so that you don’t crush all the berries.
You can serve this salad immediately but I like to chill it for about an hour before serving.
