Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

Fruit

  • 2 medium apples, cored and chopped
  • 1 cup grapes, halved
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)

Topping

  • 1/3 cup caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: In a large bowl, whip the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Gradually fold in the whipped topping gently to maintain the light, airy texture without deflating it.
  2. Add the Fruit: Carefully mix in the chopped apples, halved grapes, and pineapple chunks into the cream cheese and whipped topping mixture until all the fruit is evenly coated.
  3. Drizzle with Caramel and Chill: Transfer the fruit salad to a serving bowl or individual cups, then drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill before serving.

Notes

  • Use cream cheese softened at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
  • Fresh fruit works best, but canned pineapple should be well drained to avoid excess liquid.
  • You can substitute the caramel sauce with chocolate syrup or honey for variation.
  • For a healthier option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and sugar-free caramel sauce.
  • This salad is best served within 24 hours to maintain fruit freshness.
