Light no-bake cheesecake filling mixed with strawberries, blueberries and lemon-tossed bananas—served chilled.

# What You Need:

→ Cheesecake Filling

01 - 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
02 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream
03 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Fruits

# How to Make It:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.

03 - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
04 - Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula until evenly incorporated.
05 - In another bowl, toss banana slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Nobody will guess it took you just 15 minutes and no oven to create something so festive.
  • The cheesecake filling is luxuriously creamy but light enough to not weigh you down at a summer party.
02 -
  • I once rushed folding warm cream cheese—lumps never disappeared, so patience is key.
  • Letting the salad chill isn't optional—the flavors truly come together and the texture improves with a little time in the fridge.
03 -
  • Let your cream cheese fully soften before mixing—cold lumps are hard to blend out.
  • Dab the berries dry so they don't water down the cheesecake filling.
