This Berry Cheesecake Salad is out of this world delicious AND easy! Three base ingredients, plus four kinds of berries and marshmallows make up this amazing Summer side dish your friends and family will go nuts over!
It feels like Summer at my house. The kids and I are spending our afternoons in the backyard running through the octopus sprinkler and slurping down ice pops like there’s no tomorrow. My farmer’s tan is going strong already and It’s not even June.
One of my favorite parts of Summertime is eating outdoors. We’ve dusted off the patio furniture and have been firing up the grill non-stop the past few weeks. Our first backyard bbq of the season with a few extended family members was a couple weeks ago and I’m itching to have another! I made this Berry Cheesecake Salad the other day and I am hooked.
It is absolutely, one hundred percent guaranteed, making an appearance at our next backyard get together. It also may show up at the three family events we have coming up in the next two weeks. It is SO good I already know everyone will be begging for the recipe.
You’ve absolutely got to try out this yummy salad – it’s the one you will be taking to every family party and every get together all season long. And a little bonus: It’s red, white, and blue! So make sure you serve up this Berry Cheesecake Salad at your Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, and other patriotic gatherings for a fun, tasty, and festive side dish everyone will rave about!

Hello, was wondering if I could replace cool whip with real cream instead, would it have same consistency for the recipe to look as good as it does.
If you whip the cream yourself it will have a similar consistency.
