Pink White and Blue Cheesecake Salad

This pink, white and blue cheesecake salad is like cheesecake filling in a bowl with strawberries, blueberries and blackberries for the right 4th of July deal with. You may make a standard model with powdered sugar or a keto model that’s simply as tasty.

I acquired the thought for this cheesecake salad when making my Keto Cheesecake lately. I simply needed a deal with one evening.

So it wasn’t that large of a deal once I ate a fourth of the filling earlier than baking it. Whoops.

Then I spotted that subsequent time, I would as nicely simply make the filling and luxuriate in it with a spoon. So right here we’re.

A dessert salad with out Cool Whip and with out marshmallows! Simply complete, actual components.

The cheesecake filling of a cheesecake is fairly runny, so I used the whipped cream cheese frosting recipe from my Matcha Cake Recipe.

It would sound odd, fruit dumped in a bunch of frosting, however the result’s good. The frosting isn’t that candy, and no one consuming the cheesecake salad may have any concept that that is certainly what they’re consuming.

And that’s as a result of the filling tastes like uncooked cheesecake batter. Undoubtedly not frosting.

Warning!

Solely add the fruit to the cheesecake combination earlier than serving. For those who’re bringing this to a picnic, combine the cheesecake filling and berries collectively on the picnic.

Even with patting the fruit dry, they’ll begin to launch their juices, making the cheesecake combination a bit runnier.

If that doesn’t sound doable and also you want one thing for a July 4th BBQ, I’ve these Pink White and Blue Bars with a US flag design on them. They are often embellished at dwelling, and since they’re baked, they maintain up higher than any no-bake deal with within the warmth.

Can I take advantage of frozen berries?

For those who’re nice with it wanting horrible and serving it instantly after including the berries, then it’s okay.

I attempted it. It’s nonetheless tasty, however there’s a variety of bleeding from the berry juice.

The feel of recent berries can be lots higher than frozen.

Don’t have heavy cream?

Heavy cream accommodates 36-40% fats, and whipping cream has 30-36% fats.

This recipe requires heavy cream, however you should utilize whipping cream. You simply have to make use of a unique technique when making the filling.

With heavy cream, you combine collectively the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla till fluffy. Then you definately beat within the heavy cream till you could have stiff peaks.

If utilizing whipping cream, you need to first whip the whipping cream till you could have nonetheless peaks, after which in one other bowl, beat collectively the cheesecake filling. Then you definately fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake filling.

This ensures that that salad is thick sufficient. It doesn’t fairly whip nicely sufficient in case you use the identical technique because the heavy cream.

Yield

The cheesecake combine + fruit yields about 5 1/4 cups (1.25 liters), and you then’ve acquired a bit over a cup of fruit on high of the combined up salad.

So that ought to assist you resolve what sort of serving dish to make use of.

What number of servings that yields is as much as the self-control of the individuals having fun with it. ;)/p>

Tips on how to make forward

You may make the cheesecake filling as much as 3 days prematurely. Maintain it refrigerated in an hermetic container.

Then put together the berries the day of serving and stir them into the cheesecake filling simply earlier than serving. The salad will maintain for a couple of hours at room temperature.

If bringing it to a BBQ and it’s scorching outdoors, I might advocate retaining it in a cooler or at the very least in a shady spot and never within the full solar.

Can I take advantage of a unique sugar?

Please don’t strive a liquid sweetener! It may be tasty, however the filling could be tremendous runny and unappetizing.

I don’t advocate a granulated sweetener. The filling could be grainy and within the case of one thing like coconut sugar, it wouldn’t style good together with berries.

Keto model

Like I mentioned in my keto cheesecake put up, I’m not a fan of Lakanto, a sort of keto sweetener that’s primarily based on erythritol and monk fruit. In any respect.

Besides in cheesecake. Together with this Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake!

I don’t know why, however it appears as if there’s one thing about cream cheese that covers up the horrible aftertaste.

And it’s the identical with this cheesecake salad! No person may inform that the keto model was keto.

It’s straightforward to make the filling keto through the use of Powdered Lakanto, however bear in mind all of the carbs within the fruit. You’ll have to get pleasure from small servings of this cheesecake salad in case you’re counting carbs.

You would possibly even need to simply scoop the cheesecake salad right into a bowl and high it off with slightly little bit of fruit.

Vegan model?

This recipe is stuffed with dairy, so I’m afraid there’s no vegan choice. I don’t use vegan cream cheese, so I don’t know in case you can simply sub vegan cream cheese for the common cream cheese.

I’ve additionally by no means been very profitable with whipped coconut cream. I can by no means get it as ethereal and fluffy accurately.

I’d love to listen to your ideas about this cheesecake salad in case you make it! Please depart a remark under or share on social media and tag #texanerin so I can be sure you see it. Thanks! 🙂
