Tropical Cheesecake Salad

 

Oh yes, my friends…. tropical cheesecake salad!! Who knew fruit salad could get any better?? This post is sponsored by Southern Breeze, the sweet tea with zero calories, all opinions are 100% my own. Check the end of this post for a fun giveaway!

When I think of sweet treats for the summer, immediately I think of something bright, light, and fruity. But, above all else, it has to go with my staple summertime beverage, sweet tea!

As you know, Southern Breeze and I are basically bff’s at this point. I love this cold brew sweet tea with zero calories!

Original Southern Breeze is always my go-to but now that the weather has turned “tropical” here in Florida, I’ve been mixing up my afternoon me time with a cold glass of raspberry sweet tea. Plus, the raspberry flavor goes PERFECTLY with this cheesecake salad.

Other flavors from Southern Breeze are half & half and peach! This cold brew tea is single serve and easy to enjoy on-the-go or at home. Just pour 8oz of water over one tea bag, let it steep for 5 minutes, toss the tea bag, and pour over ice – its that easy!

A small portion of this fruit salad with an ice cold glass of raspberry sweet tea with zero calories has made these hot days a lot more bearable!

 

What is cheesecake salad?

The most classic cheesecake salad is just plain old strawberry cheesecake salad. This cheesecake salad has a LOT more going on.

Mangoes, pineapple, kiwi, strawberries, bananas, blueberries, and mandarin oranges all tossed in a creamy fruit salad sauce.

 

The “cheesecake” part of cheesecake salad comes from the sauce consisting of, in this case, cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and whipping cream.

 

It is an easy, slightly healthier alternative to a slice of cheesecake. With all those fruits you don’t have to feel too guilty about having a little sweet treat. All in moderation, of course!

That’s why Southern Breeze zero calorie sweet tea in raspberry is the perfect pairing for this fruit salad.

 

How to make tropical cheesecake fruit salad:

  • Slice and dice all the different fruits and place in a large bowl. You can really use any fruit you like as long as you keep the same ratio as the recipe. This is a very easily customizable recipe!
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add the cream cheese and whip until smooth with a hand mixer. Add the sweetened condensed milk, whip until combined. Add the heavy cream and the vanilla and whip until combined. (You can also make this fruit salad with cool whip in place of heavy cream.)
  • Pour dressing for fruit salad over the fruits and stir to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least one hour.
