Ingredients

8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened

1 package (3.4 oz / 96 g) instant cheesecake pudding mix

1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups (150 g) mini marshmallows

3 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

3 ripe bananas, sliced

1/2 cup chopped peanuts or pecans

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Preparation

1. Make the Cheesecake Filling

Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.

Add the cheesecake pudding mix, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.

2. Add the Cream

Slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream while beating. Continue mixing until the filling becomes thick, smooth, and fluffy.

3. Prepare the Fruit

Slice the strawberries and bananas. Toss the banana slices gently with the lemon juice to help prevent browning.

4. Combine

Fold the strawberries, bananas, and mini marshmallows into the cheesecake mixture. Stir gently so the fruit keeps its shape.

5. Chill

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30–60 minutes before serving. This allows the cheesecake mixture to become cold and creamy.

6. Finish and Serve

Top with extra strawberry and banana slices, mini marshmallows, and chopped peanuts or pecans just before serving.

Helpful Tips

Use ripe but firm bananas so they don’t become mushy in the salad. For the freshest appearance, add the bananas shortly before serving.

Keep the fruit well drained and dry to prevent the cheesecake mixture from becoming watery.

For extra crunch, crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers can also be sprinkled over the top just before serving.

Storage

Store Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It is best enjoyed fresh, especially after the bananas have been added.

Creamy cheesecake filling, juicy strawberries, sweet bananas, and fluffy marshmallows make this an easy no-bake dessert that’s perfect for sharing.
