Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar.
Use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until incorporated.
Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula until the mixture is light and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix.
Add the sliced strawberries to the bowl and gently stir to combine, ensuring the strawberries are evenly coated in the cheesecake mixture.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and, if desired, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top for a cheesecake-like flair.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together for the best taste.
Serve chilled and enjoy this sweet, tangy, and creamy treat!
