Strawberry Coconut Cheesecake Salad

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Wait…salad? Really? Where are the vegetables? Yeah, that’s what I thought too. This is more like a cross between a no bake strawberry cheesecake; a fruit salad (um, with only strawberries); and cream. Hmmm.  But the fact that it has the word salad in the title makes it acceptable, right? No, I know I can’t get away with that statement but we can all dream.

 

Strawberry Coconut Cheesecake Salad…  It’s similar to a parfait but with no layering necessary! Ripe and juicy strawberries (or any berry/ies of your choice) smothered with an easy to make thick and creamy cheesecake cream! YUM!

Most recipes for this popular ‘salad’ call for pudding mixes, marshmallows, heavy whipped cream and mixing banana slices through it. I can’t imagine a cheesecake anything made up of only flavoured dry pudding mix. I mean, why use pudding mix when you can use the real thing?

I chose to leave out the bananas and replaced them with toasted coconut flakes and shredded (or desiccated) coconut to add texture and extra crunch! A spring/summer taste sensation in a bowl.

To healthify-ish this salad, I made coconut whipped cream and used that instead of whipping cream (but you can use whipping cream if you don’t like coconut cream)…… As it happens, I have cans of coconut milk living in my refrigerator for emergencies such as this one. Or for when I need a quick batch of 3-ingredient chocolate mousse…..for example.

….. and then, I used real cream cheese instead of a box mix of pretend cream cheese.

Then mix it through your berries! That’s it! I hope you enjoy it!

    Any other thoughts on what would be good to add if my family doesn’t like coconut?

    Does this have to served immediately? I was going to prepare it early in the day and serve after dinner for my Bunco gals.

    I’m really looking forward to making this recipe!
    How much sugar are you adding at each step? You recommend adding sugar with the cream cheese, and again once combined with the coconut whipped cream. Do you add sugar when you are whipping the coconut cream, too? Thanks!!

      Hi Robby! No extra sugar got the whipped cream! I’m sorry I should have clarified that in the steps. Just sugar goes into the cream cheese and the coconut cream is whipped as normal (without the addition of sugar) ?

    This is such an amazing idea! I love cheesecake as much as I love fruit salad! Together, it sounds incredible!
