Prepare the Cheesecake Dressing. Start by placing the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Add the Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Slowly fold in the whipped topping and mix until combined. This is the creamy cheesecake filling for your fruit salad!
Prepare the Fruit. While the cheesecake dressing is coming together, wash and chop your fresh fruit into bite-sized pieces. You can mix and match any fruits you like, but we recommend a combination of berries, grapes, and tropical fruits like pineapple for a refreshing twist. Once the fruit is prepped, set it aside.
Combine the Fruit and Dressing. In a large bowl, gently fold the prepared fruit into the cheesecake dressing. Be careful not to mash the fruit. Just mix until everything is coated with the creamy dressing.
Chill the Salad. Once everything is combined, cover the bowl and refrigerate the fruit salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. This also allows the cheesecake dressing to thicken slightly, making it even creamier.
Serve and Enjoy. Once chilled, your cheesecake fruit salad is ready to serve! You can garnish it with extra fresh fruit on top or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. This dessert is best enjoyed cold, so keep it in the fridge until ready to serve.
