Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups mini marshmallows (optional)
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (optional, for topping)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cheesecake Base Preparation: Whip cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until silky smooth, then incorporate Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend thoroughly until achieving a luxurious, uniform consistency.
- Texture Enhancement: Delicately fold whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture, creating an airy and light texture that will provide a cloud-like foundation for the salad.
- Final Assembly: Introduce sliced strawberries and mini marshmallows into the creamy base. Gently fold the ingredients to ensure even distribution, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures without disrupting the delicate structure of the whipped mixture.
- Chilling and Serving: Refrigerate the salad for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Before serving, give a gentle stir to redistribute ingredients and ensure a perfect spoonful with every serving.
Notes
- Cold cream cheese and yogurt blend smoother, preventing lumpy texture and ensuring silky consistency.
- Use gentle folding technique with whipped topping to maintain airy, light texture without deflating mixture.
- Cut strawberries into consistent, bite-sized pieces for even distribution and balanced flavor in each spoonful.
- Prepare salad 2-3 hours before serving and refrigerate to allow flavors to meld and marshmallows to soften slightly.
