Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad
This easy Strawberry Banana Cheesecake Salad combines fresh strawberries and bananas with a creamy no-bake cheesecake filling, Cool Whip, and crunchy graham crackers. It comes together in about 15 minutes with no pudding mix or baking required.
Ingredients
- 23.4 oz no-bake cheesecake filling
- 8 oz whipped topping (thawed)
- 2 lbs strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 6 bananas (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 8 graham crackers (broken into bite-sized pieces)
Instructions
- Make the cheesecake mixture. Add the no-bake cheesecake filling to a medium mixing bowl. Fold in the thawed Cool Whip with a rubber spatula until smooth, fluffy, and evenly combined.
- Prep the fruit. Add the sliced strawberries and bananas to a large bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss until the fruit is lightly coated.
- Fold everything together. Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the fruit. Gently fold until the strawberries and bananas are evenly coated, being careful not to crush the fruit.
- Add the graham crackers. Just before serving, fold in the crushed graham crackers or sprinkle them over the top. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Use ripe but firmer bananas so they hold their shape when folded into the salad.
- Dry the strawberries really well after washing so extra water doesn’t thin out the cheesecake mixture.
- Make sure the Cool Whip is completely thawed before mixing.
- Add the graham crackers right before serving so they stay crunchy.
- If you expect leftovers, keep the graham crackers separate and add them to individual servings.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1–2 days.
- For make-ahead prep, mix the cheesecake filling and Cool Whip and prep the strawberries in advance. Wait to slice the bananas and assemble the salad until closer to serving.
